$3.2 Million Grant Awarded to Snavely’s Mill, Say Borowicz, Dush

January 28, 2026

LOCK HAVEN – A $3.2 million grant was recently awarded to Clinton County business Snavely’s Mill Inc. through Pennsylvania’s Rail Transportation Assistance Program, announced Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (R-Clinton/Union) and Sen. Cris Dush (R-25).

“This investment in Snavely’s Mill is a win for Clinton County and for Pennsylvania’s agricultural economy,” said Borowicz. “By improving rail infrastructure and expanding capacity for wheat shipments, we’re helping one of North America’s oldest and largest family-owned flour mills remain competitive in a growing market. These upgrades will not only strengthen Snavely’s operations but also support local farmers and food producers, ensuring our region continues to thrive.”

The grant funding will be used by Snavely’s Mill to construct two new rail spurs and rehabilitate over 3,000 feet of track at Snavely’s transloading facility. Snavely’s expects the improvements will increase their flour production operations by three times the current level.

“For nearly 200 years, rail freight infrastructure has been vital to American agriculture, connecting farms to markets and bringing fresh nutritious food to our family tables,” said Dush. “I am pleased to see that Snavely’s Mill is investing this highly competitive funding toward dramatically increasing their wheat processing capacity, the lion’s share of which comes from Pennsylvania farmers and is distributed to mostly Pennsylvania bakeries and producers. Supporting modern and efficient freight rail transportation will keep our region economically competitive and on the right track for creating and retaining family-sustaining jobs for years to come.”

The Rail Transportation Assistance Program invests in freight infrastructure to boost economic development. The program funds up to 70% of project costs for maintenance or construction. Applicants include railroads, businesses and municipalities.
