Southwest Greensburg will spend about $1 million in state gambling money to build a new public works garage. The borough was awarded $1 million from the state program that distributed the revenue generated from Live! Casino Pittsburgh to communities in the region.

“It’s huge,” said Mayor Carol Palcic of the money, which the borough will use to build a new public works garage and salt shed on Foster Street.

The current public works building dates back to 1965.
