Allegheny County Conservation District

Since 1998, ACCD as invested more than $4.5 million in roadway and stormwater improvements across Allegheny County, improving 34.2 miles of road in 22 municipalities through the Dirt, Gravel & Low Volume Roads (DGLVR) Program. 💦

This year, Moon Township and Bell Acres Borough will receive $320,350 for projects that address a landslide-damaged road and reduce sediment runoff to a nearby trout-stocked stream.

“For 80 years, ACCD has worked alongside municipalities to solve problems at their source,” said Executive Director Heather Manzo. “These investments help municipalities avoid far more costly repairs down the line while keeping sediment out of the streams that communities rely on for drinking water and recreation.”

Have a road project in mind? Applications are open until August 31st.
