Our parade was bigger and better than ever, with an estimated 10,000 parade-watchers pulling up their chairs and curb spots to get a great view, all along Main Street from Mitchell to Memorial Park. WOW!

Grants awarded to the Lansdale Historic Freight House Project

We at Discover Lansdale are proud to announce that our civic nonprofit has been awarded several grants for the restoration and rehabilitation of our iconic, stately stone Reading Freight House:

  • Pennsylvania's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) has awarded Discover Lansdale more than $1 million for construction costs for renovations and repairs for the Freight House Project. Our sincere gratitude goes out to Pa. Rep. Steve Malagari (53rd district) and state Sen. Maria Collett (12th district) for their support and efforts in securing the grant, as well as for all the other civic groups and officers who voiced their support for the project.
  • The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission awarded the project a $14,000  Keystone Preservation Planning Grant for the architectural and engineering costs to prepare for construction. This grant is designated for the planning, promotion, and development of our state's historic resources. We are grateful for their support, and the acknowledgement of the Freight House's crucial role in the history and growth of our borough.
  • And, most recently, Discover Lansdale became the recipient of a $25,000 Regional Trails Program grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. This is dedicated to installation of amenities including bike racks, a repair station and a bottle-filling water station, along the adjacent Liberty Bell Trail. Our thanks to the Commission and this generous program, which is dedicated to providing assistance and support to trail developers, counties, municipalities and nonprofits to build and connect the greater Philadelphia area's 800-plus miles of multi-use trails.

The first two are "matching grants," which will fund 50% of the costs. While Discover Lansdale has secured much of our portion of the grant match, we cannot complete this project without your help and support.

From volunteering to contributing financially, the Lansdale community already has proved a generous partner in this project. These grants confirm how significant a role the Freight House played in our past, and will continue to play in the future.

Keep an eye out for more news (and chances to participate) as our project continues.
