The cost to Zelienople borough for Phase 3 of its Main Street project continues to drop.

Gov. Tom Wolf announced Monday that the third phase of Zelienople's Revitalization and Economic Development project is one of 34 community projects funded via a Keystone Communities Program grant, with the borough receiving more than $223,000 for the project.

Phase 3 covers upgrades and infrastructure updates along Main Street between West New Castle Street and Grandview Avenue, essentially bringing the project to Four Corners Park.

Borough manager Don Pepe said the $223,605 grant may decrease the amount Zelienople owes on its Butler County Infrastructure Bank loan, for which repayments begin in 2022.
