“By investing in safe roads and reliable water systems, we are investing in the health, safety, and future of our neighbors. I am proud to announce the recipients, including Lehigh Valley International Airport, which is receiving more than a million dollars to construct a new parking garage following its record-breaking numbers last year, as well as $800,000 to begin Phase II of the MLK Trail extension, which will connect our city parks via an 8-mile trail,” Miller said.
