We have been receiving inquiries regarding the PA Business Grants recently announced. Unfortunately local economic development entities were not involved in the roll-out of this program so we are unable to assist our companies with this grant application. However, there is a recently created website that companies can go to and monitor as the program moves forward. This website is: pabusinessgrants.com/. The entities responsible for Crawford County business applications are the Progress Fund and Bridgeway Capital. If interested, we encourage companies to contact them.

Welcome to Northwest PA Job Fair. Register now and upload your CV, all participating companies will have access to it.Although the article in today’s Meadville Tribune covered most of the information provided for the article accurately, some important information was not printed. Four members of our EPACC team Angela Annibale, Pat Winsor, Becky Smith and Sarah Fait truly went above and beyond during the implementation of the new PA Working Capital loan program. This program was rolled out with a first come, first serve declaration. This group fielded over 100 business inquiries, distributed over 40 applications, packaged and submitted 22 completed loan applications within 48 hours. Their efforts lead to 18 approvals, with 2 applications still under review and approx. $1.8 million in working capital funding for our local companies!

I wanted to thank them publicly for their selfless, tireless efforts working with/for our Crawford County businesses during these difficult times.
