Butler County will receive over $8 million in state money this year to help maintain nearly 1,500 miles of roads through the liquid fuels tax.
The money, which is distributed annually to the county’s municipalities, comes from a state tax on the sale of fuel. The amount of money is determined by the population and miles of municipality-owned roads.
Cranberry Township will receive over $950,000 to take care of 124 miles of roads; Butler Township will be awarded nearly $640,000 with over $460,000 going to Adams Township and Butler City receiving nearly $435,000 to maintain over 50 miles of roadways.
All 33 townships, 23 boroughs, and the city of Butler will receive money through the liquid fuels tax program. For a detailed list, visit PennDOT’s website.
The money helps pay for expenses including snow removal and road repaving of roads owned by the municipalities.
