A fire company, a small-town theater, a borough park and an historic cemetery will benefit from nearly $800,000 in gaming grants approved today by Dauphin County commissioners.
The largest grant, for $750,000, will cover the county redevelopment authority's share of a roughly $2 million project to renovate and reopen Millersburg's venerable Colonnade Theater.
Citizens Fire Company of Penbrook is to receive $33,000 for equipment purchases and Elizabethville will receive an $11,000 share for upgrades at the borough park.
Commissioners approved a $950 grant to help the Friends of Midland continue restoration of the historic Midland Cemetery at Steelton. Thousands of blacks are buried there, many in unmarked graves. The internees include Civil War veterans and a star baseball player in the Negro Leagues.
Money for the grants comes from the county's 2 percent cut of slot-machine revenue at Hollywood Casino in East Hanover Township.
