This episode is sponsored by The Plumbing Outlet and Coal Region Winery. Chad Lauer and Chad Evans sit down with local Community Revitalization leader Betsy Kramer. Betsy is the Community Revitalization Manager for SEDA-COG - An economic development organization and also Local Development District set up through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) serving 11 core central region counties: Center, Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Juniata, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Union. Betsy uncovers the hood of what is confusing to many. She explains the major need in our area and the difficult process of securing funding and getting projects off the ground. She explains how specific the grant writing process needs to be and the challenges involved. She also inspires so many that often they think she has an open "checkbook". Betsy leaves us feeling educated and wanting to be a larger part in our community revitalization efforts. She has secured and is working on administering nearly 7 million dollars worth of grants today and is working on securing millions more for the area. Let's celebrate her great work! Tune in today!
