UPDATE: Pa. gives millions to refinery; trims Comcast; FMC, ShopRite, Urban on hold

Pennsylvania picked deals worth $200 million from developers and nonprofits from $1.1 billion in requests from the bond-funded, taxpayer-financed matching grants under the state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program last year.

UPDATE: Disappointed applicants may still be funded later, notes Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan (I noted earlier they may re-apply but Sheridan points out the deals I labeled 'NO' haven't been rejected, just "not executed," to date).
Below is a list of major projects that got approved for cash gifts (and some that didn't) in the Philadelphia area under Gov. Tom Corbett last year, per a report posted recently by the Wolf adinistration.
