(Center Township, PA) Congressman Chris Deluzio announced today that Beaver County is receiving $25,000 in federal funding to invest in educational and job opportunities for Beaver County youth.

The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) awarded this funding to Flourish Beaver County so a three-year strategic plan for these opportunities can be developed.

Flourish Beaver County is a nonprofit that invests in opportunities for support for Beaver County youth.

This initiative helps Appalachian communities, individuals, and organizations to obtain the knowledge, resources and skills that are necessary so they can strengthen their local economies.
