Shapiro administration announces $109.3 million for 68 Southcentral Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley projects

The Shapiro administration announced $109,331,999 in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program investments for 68 projects across Southcentral Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley.

The governor’s office made the announcement in Harrisburg on July 16, 2026. The funding is being awarded through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, known as RACP, a Pennsylvania capital-grant program used for regional economic-development and infrastructure projects.

What the announcement covers

The announced total covers 68 projects in two broad regions: Southcentral Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley. It is a regional funding announcement, rather than a list limited to Harrisburg.

The announcement was issued from Harrisburg, but the available release excerpt does not establish that any particular funded project is inside Harrisburg city limits. It also does not identify each project or recipient within the 68-project total.

For local governments, institutions and developers associated with projects in the covered areas, the awards represent a new source of state-backed financing for capital work. The announcement identifies investments, not completed construction or spending.

What remains undisclosed

The available announcement excerpt does not include a project-by-project accounting of the $109,331,999 total. It does not provide individual award amounts, identify every recipient, or describe the specific work planned at each site.

It also does not include construction schedules or completion dates. As a result, the announcement alone does not show when work will begin on any individual project, whether every project has the same implementation timetable, or when the funded work could be finished.

Those distinctions matter because an announced capital-program investment is not the same as a completed project. The governor’s office has confirmed the overall funding amount, the number of projects and the regions covered, but the excerpt does not provide the project-level details needed to track particular awards.

What happens next

No implementation deadline, construction schedule or further project-level release date was included in the available announcement excerpt. The next information to watch for is the identification of individual recipients, award allocations and timelines for the 68 projects.

For now, the confirmed development is the state’s announcement of $109,331,999 in RACP investments spanning Southcentral Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley.
