LANSDALE, PA — The greater Lansdale area has received a swath of state funding for several projects, including a new restroom facility at Whites Road Park, State Rep. Steve Malagari and State Sen. Maria Collett announced.

The $390,212 grant for Whites Road park is part of a larger $1.5 million investment into projects around the local area, including in Hatfield and North Wales.
