Columbia County cattle farm project receives $2M grant

Bloomsburg, Pa. — The Pa. Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) has allocated $2 million in grant funding to the Luzerne Conservation District to assist with an ongoing project at Long Hollow Cattle Company in Columbia County. The grant funds will be used to implement two roofed heavy-use areas — 32 feet by 72 feet and 70 feet by 284 feet — fencing, roof runoff controls, access roads, animal walkways, watering facilities, underground outlets, and stormwater controls. “Securing critical funding for the 109th District requires relentless effort, strong advocacy and a commitment to delivering results,” said State Rep. Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia). “Agriculture is the backbone of many of our communities and a vital part of Pennsylvania’s economy and heritage. I will work tirelessly to secure the resources and investments our farmers, rural communities, and local businesses need to thrive.” PENNVEST provides grants and low-interest loans for design, engineering, and construction of publicly and privately owned drinking water distribution and treatment facilities, as well as stormwater and wastewater projects.
