Lackawanna County would receive $2 million for a targeted effort to counter growing gang and gun violence under legislation moving through the U.S. House of Representatives. The funding for the county’s proposed Gun and Gang Reduction Intelligence Project, or GGRIP, is part of more than $11 million sought by U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright for six public safety and economic and social recovery initiatives in a pair of appropriations bills that received subcommittee approval Monday. The bills are expected to reach the House floor for a vote later this month, Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, said. |
