Help ensure Northeast PA is eligible for future Economic Development funding by sharing your knowledge of the region!
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance is developing a five-year economic development strategy for the seven-county region, which consists of Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne counties. The strategy is a requirement from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration for the region to be eligible for funding that would be used in economic development projects. Part of the strategy development process is to gather public opinion about the region by conducting a survey.
The 12-question survey, which will be available online until 12:01 AM on October 7th, 2019, can be accessed by clicking

The Subtle Art of Advocacy: Finding Your Voice

NCAC
, the
Northeast Library District
and
PANO
for a dynamic conversation exploring these questions and more as we seek to uncover the subtle art of advocacy.
