Bristol Borough’s central business district received some good news Thursday in the form of a $50,000 Keystone Communities grant intended for facade improvements.

According to Democratic State Rep. John Galloway’s office, the grant will aid in the continuing the turnaround of Mill Street and the storefronts along it. The money comes to Bristol via the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and the program will locally be administered by the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority.

The money will help fund upgrades to the facade of properties along Mill Street and preserve the architectural integrity of buildings.

“I’d like to congratulate Bristol Borough on this substantial award in a competitive grant process,” said Galloway. “On the heels of its win in the second season of Small Business Revolution, Bristol Borough is quickly making a name for itself as a place for transformative investment and small business development.

“It’s a pleasure to watch a deserving community grow and develop into a regional destination.”
