Grant Winners Announced
Four drycleaners were among the first group of 2007 winners of Pennsylvania ‘s Small Business Advantage Grants. The program provides a 50% match of up to $7,500 for equipment or processes that reduce energy consumption, promote pollution prevention, and increase profitability. This year’s grants will leverage almost $1.5 million in private investments.
PDCA is proud of our association’s work to help establish and retain the grant program, through our active government relations efforts.
