My study of the Website of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania indicates that the roundhouse has its funding source in a 2010 allocation from a State capital funding program.

In that year $500,000 was released for building designs. The plans are now being reviewed by the local planning commission. This commission's approval is expected and then the project can move forward.

the website states:
It is anticipated that the Governor's Office of the Budget will release an additional $6.1 million in capital funds for the actual construction of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's roundhouse in the upcoming fiscal year. The current timetable should see the roundhouse placed out for construction bids later in 2013. Groundbreaking is expected to take place in the spring of 2014, with the facility likely to be completed late in 2015.

Time well tell if this all comes to pass.
