Rep. Jason Ortitay has announced the allocation of $1.03 million in Local Share Account (LSA) grants for four projects within Pennsylvania's 46th Legislative District.

- Chartiers Township: Receiving $375,000 to install a new section of pressure sewer in the Arden Mines community.
- Houston Borough: Allocated $136,900 for replacing and updating traffic signals at key intersections.
