Rep. Norcross Delivers $850,000 to Pennsauken Public Works Facility

CHERRY HILL, NJ - Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ-01) delivered $850,000 in Community Project Funding to Pennsauken Township to support renovations and upgrades to the township's Public Works facility.

The project will be used to establish a new, accessible public office facing Clement Avenue to improve public access, construct a covered storage structure to protect critical equipment and support the Fleet Maintenance Division, upgrade maintenance and garage areas, and replace aging building infrastructure.

"It's great to be in my hometown of Pennsauken today to deliver an investment that supports the people who keep our community running," said Congressman Donald Norcross. "From trash collection to snow removal and pothole repair, Public Works crews provide essential services we rely on every day. Modernizing this facility will help ensure our crews have the safe workspace they need to serve South Jersey residents."

"Pennsauken's Department of Public Works is the backbone of many of the critical services our residents rely on every day, from maintaining our roads and public spaces to responding when our community needs us most," said Mayor Patrick Olivo. "These funding resources will allow us to make essential infrastructure upgrades to our Public Works Facility and Vehicle Repair Garage, ensuring our team has the safe, modern space they need to continue serving effectively. We are grateful to Congressman Norcross for recognizing the importance of this investment and supporting Pennsauken's goals to strengthen the foundation of the services our community depends on."

These improvements will help create a safer, more efficient workplace for employees while strengthening services for more than 36,000 residents. The existing complex, built more than 70 years ago, is aging and in need of upgrades.

This investment is a part of the $11.98 million Congressman Norcross secured for 15 Community Project Funding (CPF) awards throughout New Jersey's First Congressional District to support economic development, create jobs, and respond to the most pressing needs of the community.
