ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 22nd day of February, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

(1) Whether the Commonwealth Court’s [o]rder concluding that a construction project that was funded by the issuance and sale of taxexempt municipal bonds by a public authority did not constitute “public works” severely undermines the purposes of the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, and will allow employers to circumvent the requirements of the Act, thus undermining Pennsylvania public policy?

Justice Dougherty did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
