The funding, which was obtained in partnership with the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority, will be used for extensive structural improvements, including repaving, roof upgrades and classroom enhancements. In addition to school funding, a grant for $435,000 has been approved for the development of affordable housing in Bristol Township.
