Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Highlights Shapiro-Davis Administration's Support for Community Revitalization Projects Across the Commonwealth

Projects to revitalize communities and support young people and low-income families in the Lehigh Valley are getting a boost from the Shapiro-Davis Administration, which recently approved more than $5.5 million in funding through the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), which provides state tax credits to businesses that contribute to nonprofit organizations.

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis joined state and local leaders at a news conference today in Allentown to highlight the NAP investments, including a project by Community Action Lehigh Valley that will help youth in center city Allentown.

"When I was growing up in McKeesport, I spent many days at my local Boys and Girls Club, so I understand how important it is for young people have safe and supportive places to go after school and in the summer months," said Davis. "The Shapiro-Davis Administration is making communities safer and giving kids more opportunities by investing in afterschool and summer programs, through our new BOOST initiative, but also with NAP tax credits. I'm grateful for the companies that are supporting this project in Allentown, as well as the work of Community Action Lehigh Valley, for investing in Pennsylvania's most precious resource - our children."
