The Borough Millvale partnered with TreeVitalize to submit and implement the PENNVEST grant. TreeVitalize Pittsburgh is a joint project of Allegheny County, the City of Pittsburgh, Tree Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC).
PENNVEST is funding the project through a combination of state funds approved by voters, federal grants to PENNVEST from the Environmental Protection Agency and recycled loan repayments from previous PENNVEST funding awards.
The Borough of Millvale, TreeVitalize Pittsburgh and WPC plan to begin the project in February of 2012 with planting being completed by the fall of 2013.
Millvale Borough thanks, PENNVEST, TreeVitalize Pittsburgh, the WPC, Allegheny County, Congressman Mike Doyle, State Representative Dom Costa and State Senator Jim Ferlo.

Seton Hill University’s E-Magnify in collaboration with Senator Robert Casey
is pleased to present a Federal Procurement Seminar which will take place June 22, 2012 at Seton Hill University in Cecilian Hall. This seminar will include an information regarding the Women Owned Small Business Procurement Program and 8(a) Certification Program, how to identify business opportunities that are available to women owned and other small businesses, registration requirements, and subcontracting opportunities. The draft agenda currently includes presentations by Senator Casey, General Services Administration (GSA), the U.S. Small Business Administration (US SBA), and small business owners who will share their experiences with regard to federal government contracts. While the program will focus primarily on Federal Government Procurement, opportunities for women, we welcome comprehensive information regarding procurement at the state and local levels as well as private contracting opportunities. As a result, we would like to offer our regional resource partners the opportunity to participate in this event by displaying and staffing a table with materials about your organization. A skirted table will be provided for your exhibit (electricity will not be available). The June 22 program schedule is as follows: 8:00 Registration, 8:30-11:30 Program. We ask that you arrange your time so that your table is set up by 8:00 A.M and staffed until the conclusion of the event at 11:30. The seminar is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our region’s resources available to assist small business owners in the pursuit of business expansion through contracting opportunities. Please contact us at info@e-magnify.com or call Debra Mason, Education and Training Manager at 724.830.4614 and let us know your plans to participate.
Thank you!
