SUNBURY – More resources are being put into revitalizing the former Sunbury Community Hospital. State Senator John Gordner (R-27th, Berwick) announced Friday a $2 million grant was awarded to DRIVE, the valley’s economic development entity. The funds will go toward DRIVE’s revitalization of the former hospital, which was donated to DRIVE by UPMC last May.
Gordner says the funds will be used to help renovate the facility by improving mechanical systems; updating interior floors, walls and lighting; and the construction of various residential, commercial and retails spaces.
The facility closed in March of 2020 after serving the community since 1951.
