The city also secured a Pennsylvania Small Water and Sewer Grant to expand storm sewer mapping efforts. The grant will help create a clearer, datadriven understanding of McKeesport’ s stormwater infrastructure, positioning the city for future improvements and funding opportunities.
In addition, the administration has advanced paving plans through Community Development Block Grant funding, developing targeted CDBG paving lists designed to address some of the city’ s most pressing roadway needs. Public works operations have been evaluated to maximize resources, improve efficiency, and ensure that crews have the tools necessary to respond to daily maintenance demands.
Maglicco has also emphasized investment in parks and playgrounds, recognizing public green spaces as vital community assets. Assessments are underway to identify upgrades and repairs that will enhance safety and usability for families across the city.
