HARRISBURG − May 20, 2025 − Senator Marty Flynn today announced that the Old Forge School District has been awarded $400,000 through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Solar for Schools program.
The funding will support the installation of solar energy infrastructure at the district, helping reduce long-term energy costs and promote sustainability in school operations.
“This is a smart investment that will benefit students and the environment,” said Senator Flynn. “By supporting clean energy in our schools, we’re helping districts cut costs while also teaching the next generation about the importance of sustainability and innovation.”
Senator Flynn also thanked State Representative Jim Haddock for his partnership and advocacy in helping secure the funding for Old Forge.
The Solar for Schools program provides grants to public K-12 schools to help offset the costs of solar energy systems, with the goal of reducing utility expenses and advancing renewable energy use across the Commonwealth.
