PA Gov. Tom Wolf announced April 22 the approval of $32.85 million to support 13 community, economic development and revitalization projects throughout Pennsylvania.

The award approvals in Lehigh County include the following project:

• St. Luke’s Hospital – Sacred Heart Sigal Center Parking Garage Accessibility, $1 million.

The construction project will connect the Sigal Center with the St. Luke’s parking garage next to it. Parking garage improvements include a new vehicular access ramp from the parking lot at the Sigal Center and a new pedestrian bridge from the second floor of the parking garage into the Sigal Center. The project includes utility relocation/coordination, a new pedestrian bridge, the relocation of the parking garage entrance/ramp and new lighting.

“Every one of these projects funded will make a real, meaningful difference in our communities and the lives of those who live there,” Wolf said. “It’s an honor to support Pennsylvania’s future success through these investments.”
