PHILADELPHIA – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced more than $16 million in grant awards from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expedite the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites in Pennsylvania while advancing environmental justice. These investments through EPA’s Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup (MAC) Grant Programs will help transform once-polluted, vacant, and abandoned properties into community assets, while helping to create good jobs and spur economic revitalization in overburdened communities.
Sayre, PA — The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its growth, as the foundation’s assets have now reached an impressive $14 million. This achievement was made possible by a generous bequest from the estate of George Gardiner Probst, facilitated by the Keystone Trails Association (KTA).
In honor of George Gardiner Probst, a substantial portion of this bequest has been invested in the Keystone Trails Endowment fund, ensuring the continued support and maintenance of our region’s cherished trails. George, a resident of Wellsville, NY, just north of the Pennsylvania line, was a dedicated veteran of both the United States Navy and the United States Air Force. His life was marked by a deep love for the outdoors and an unwavering commitment to community service.
