Rep. Bryan Cutler has announced that the Lancaster County Conservation District will receive a $5.9 million grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This grant is part of the 2025 Countywide Action Plan (CAP) Implementation Grants, which total $24 million awarded across Pennsylvania.
The funding aims to reduce pollution and restore local water bodies within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. "This is fantastic news for the people of Lancaster County," said Cutler. "This funding is part of a process we started several budgets ago to help clean up and protect the Chesapeake Bay Watershed in Pennsylvania and this represents a major investment into Lancaster County’s efforts to protect our wildlife."
The 2025 CAP Implementation Grant round received applications for 205 projects expected to be completed in the next 12-18 months. These projects are anticipated to reduce nearly 110,000 pounds per year of nitrogen, 42,150 pounds per year of phosphorus, and 11.8 million pounds per year of sediment.
