Constitution Pipeline Company has announced the recipients of the sixth cycle of its Constitution Pipeline Community Grant program, awarding 25 grants totaling more than $200,000 for local communities within the counties traversed by the proposed pipeline project.
Since its inception in 2012, more than $1.8 million has been awarded by the Constitution Pipeline Community Grant Program.
An advisory committee consisting of community leaders and company representatives helped determine which projects would receive funding and how the dollars would be distributed.
Grants were awarded based on overall community need and merit of the proposal.
Constitution Pipeline distributes grant awards twice per year with the next funding cycle's deadline scheduled for October 1.
