Four major projects in Dauphin County will receive state assistance. The support comes from Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grants that were approved.

Dauphin County Library System will receive $1 million for the Walnut Street Harrisburg Expansion project. The project will construct an interior connection between the current McCormick Riverfront Library and the newly acquired Haldeman Haly House. It will renovate the Haly House to support administrative offices; provide community, conference, and private counseling rooms; and renovate the lower floor of the existing library to provide space for a children's center and welcome center.

West Hanover Township Municipal Complex will receive a $500,000 grant to construct a 15,000-square-foot municipal complex which will house several township departments. The departments include Administration, Buildings/Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, West Hanover Water and Sewer Authority, and Stormwater Authority.

The Rotunda Brew Pub will receive $1 million for redevelopment. The Rotunda Brewing property is located at the end of the heavily trafficked Chocolate Avenue in Derry Township and sits a quarter mile from the recently constructed town square. This redevelopment will transition the business model from on-site production with limited space for on-premise consumption to a fully modernized and state-of-the-art brewpub facility that has the ability to compete with comparable locations in other states.

Swatara Township Municipal Complex Facility will receive $1 million for a new Fire and Police Public Safety Building. The building will be 50,000 square feet and add secure rooms for meetings with crime victims and provide ventilation systems, decontamination areas, wash-down areas, storage areas, joint training facilities for fire and police, a covered parking area, and an emergency management operations center.

The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program is administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
