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.

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.
