DANVILLE – Sen. Lynda Schlegel Culver (R-27) hosted a Municipal Grant Seminar on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at the Montour County Administration Building in Danville, bringing together local officials and community leaders to learn more about funding opportunities and resources available across the Commonwealth.
The event featured presentations from state and federal partners, including Joe Marsicano, Funding and Resource Specialist for the Senate of Pennsylvania; Paul Macknosky, Regional Director for the Department of Community and Economic Development; Leslie Cote, Project Specialist with PENNVEST; and Wes Fahringer, Regional Advisor for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
“This seminar was designed to provide practical information about how municipalities and organizations can access grant funding to support local projects,” Culver said. “I am grateful to our partners who shared their expertise and to the many local leaders who joined us to strengthen their communities.”
Attendees received guidance on a wide range of grant programs, including infrastructure improvement projects, water and sewer system upgrades, conservation and recreation initiatives, and rural development opportunities. Presenters also highlighted strategies for preparing successful applications and connecting with technical assistance.
Culver emphasized the importance of collaboration, noting that “when local leaders and state agencies work together, we can maximize resources and make sure taxpayer dollars are being used effectively.”
