March 9, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Tim Twardzik (R-Schuylkill) and Sen. Dave Argall (R-29) are thrilled to announce the City of Pottsville has been awarded a $100,000 Keystone Communities grant to support the Pottsville Greenways project. The funding will help build a connector trail from the JFK Park facility to the Pottsville Area School District, linking into the existing 9/11 Trail and improving recreational opportunities and access for residents.

“This grant will help bring the Pottsville Greenways project to life, creating safe, accessible trails that connect our parks, schools and neighborhoods,” Twardzik said. “It’s an investment in our community’s health, recreation and quality of life for residents of all ages.”

“Investments like this help continue the positive momentum we’re seeing in Pottsville,” said Argall. “By improving connections between parks, schools, businesses, and neighborhoods, the Pottsville Greenways project will enhance recreation opportunities and strengthen the city for years to come.”

The $100,000 Keystone Communities grant is part of a statewide program through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that supports local revitalization projects and public improvements.

The project will be managed by the city, with Phase I supported by the grant and additional private contributions of approximately $25,000. This investment will create safe, accessible pathways and strengthen community connections throughout Pottsville.
