Following a successful few years that yielded more than $935,000 in grants for the township, the Falls Supervisors opted on Monday to continue its annual contract with a grant writing company.
Falls began working with Millennium Strategies, LLC in 2021 after neighboring Middletown Township used the company’s services to generate more than $10 million in grant funding over a 10-year span. In 2021, Millennium helped Falls obtain a $756,881 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to fund pedestrian safety improvements at various intersections. An additional $55,029 was secured from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development – Greenways, Trails, and Recreation Program for upgrades to the township’s roller hockey rink. The upgraded rink opened in summer 2022.
“We’ve gotten almost $1 million in grant money,” Supervisors Chairman Jeff Dence said.
In all, the company has helped Falls secure $937,110 in grant funding.
As part of the contracted monthly cost of $1,500 per month, Millennium will create a strategic plan, research available opportunities, and provide monthly reporting. Project based grant writing services would be provided at an hourly rate.
In addition to Falls and Middletown, Millennium Strategies provides grant writing services to more than 90 municipalities, counties, school districts and nonprofits in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Since its inception in 2005, the company has secured more than $600 million in both governmental and non-governmental grants for its clients.
Millennium has secured funding for a wide range of projects, including arts and culture, economic development, open space preservation, parks and recreation, environmental planning and restoration, public safety, sustainable energy, historic preservation, as well as transportation-related projects.
