BUCKS COUNTY – July 16, 2026 − Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10) along with Representative Tina Davis (D-141) announced today $2,000,000 in state funding.
- $1,00,000 for B Mazzocchi Development
- $1,00,000 for HP Bristol Pike LLC
RACP funds will be used by B Mazzocchi Development for the complete renovation of the long-vacant property at 109 Radcliffe Street into a family entertainment complex. The project will bring the building up to full ADA standards and construct an addition on the second floor. Work will include installation of major new systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire sprinklers, along with extensive structural improvements including steel, masonry, a new roof, and the addition of an elevator to ensure accessibility. This investment will transform a blighted property into a vibrant destination for Bristol.
“Transforming a long-vacant, blighted property into a family-friendly destination is exactly the kind of investment our communities need,” said Senator Santarsiero. “This project will bring the building up to full ADA standards, create a welcoming and accessible space for residents and visitors, and help breathe new life into this property. I’m proud to support redevelopment that strengthens our local economy and enhances quality of life in Bristol Borough.”
“Investing in the renovation of 244 Radcliffe Street ensures that a historic property in Bristol Borough will be preserved, modernized, and made fully accessible,” said Representative Davis. “These upgrades—from essential building systems to exterior restoration—will breathe new life into the area and support local economic growth.”
Another RACP grant will help fund Phase II of the Levittown Bristol Pike Redevelopment which will focus on site preparation for vertical construction of an industrial/logistics facility. Work will include site grading, trenching, private water, sanitary and stormwater infrastructure, erosion control, paving, landscaping, and other critical site improvements required to bring the property to shovel-ready condition.
“The former Hammock Hotel site in Bristol had become a blighted property that was associated with crime and vandalism,” said Senator Santarsiero. “I was proud to support Phase I of the site’s rehabilitation with an RACP grant in 2022, and this funding will move the project into Phase II. These critical improvements will deliver a shovel-ready site for new construction and long-term industrial use, helping drive economic revitalization and creating much-needed jobs in Bristol Township.”
“Phase II of the Levittown Bristol Pike redevelopment will prepare the site for new industrial and logistics development, creating economic opportunities and modern infrastructure,” said Representative Davis. “This project brings us closer to revitalizing underused land and attracting jobs to Bristol Township.”
The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the design, acquisition, and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects. RACP projects are authorized in the Redevelopment Assistance section of a Capital Budget Itemization Act, have a regional or multi-jurisdictional impact, and generate substantial increases or maintain current levels of employment, tax revenues, or other measures of economic activity. Local investment is required to receive an RACP grant.
