In June 2013, the Allegheny Conference created the Strengthening Communities Partnership (SCP). The goal of the SCP is to make long-term, positive impacts in participating communities by concentrating private investment through tax credits purchased by businesses in the PA Department of Community and Economic Development Neighborhood Partnership Program. These investments are complemented with targeted, pro bono professional services that will make redevelopment projects happen in the neighborhoods.
Join GWP as Will Bernstein and Brian Jensen from the Allegheny Conference provide an update on the work of the SCP as they enter their new three-year agenda. Representatives from participating community development organizations will also be on hand to share their experiences with the program incuding Greg Jones from Economc Development South, Taris Vrcek from McKees Rocks CDC, and Tracey Evans from Wilkinsburg CDC.
This will be a brown-bag meeting, so please feel free to bring your lunch. Beverages and desserts will be provided.
This program is brought to you by the GWP Community Development Roundtable (co-chairs, Stephanie Cipriani and Jane Downing).
