Pa. bills provide $325K for Phila. nonprofits
The U.S. Senate appropriations committee approved $325,000 for small-business programs at three Philadelphia nonprofit organizations, Sens. Arlen Specter and Bob Casey said today.
The money is in the fiscal 2010 Financial Services Appropriations bill, which must still be approved by the full Senate and the House.
The programs and their proposed amounts are: $175,000 for Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center to develop small-business succession planning services; $100,000 to the Philadelphia Community College for the Northeast Regional Center for workforce education, training, and business development; and $50,000 for the Urban League of Philadelphia Entrepreneurship Center aimed at minority-owned start-up businesses. - Harold Brubaker
