Description
The Lycoming Economic Development Foundation partners with First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania (FCFP) to support community-based economic development that enhances quality of life in Lycoming County. Established in 1955 to promote the county’s economic, commercial, and industrial welfare, the foundation uses this fund to help stimulate a strong local economy.
Requests may address job creation or retention, skilled workforce development—particularly for low-income individuals—and improved access to public infrastructure and facilities that support business expansion or attract new industry. The program also supports environmentally sustainable approaches to promoting business, community revitalization, and tourism promotion. Projects may address one or more of these priorities.
