Commun i t y Deve lopmentSEDA-COG has a long-term contractual relationship with the Lycoming County Commissioners to administer their annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds as well as manage development and construction of CDBG projects. Over the years, County CDBG funds have primarily been used to improve existing and construct new water and sewer systems for small communities and to develop public infrastructure for economic development purposes. SEDA-COG staff has utilized CDBG funds to leverage other grants and loans where necessary to make projects feasible. Recent, under construction, or under development County CDBG projects include:

Lycoming County – Join CDBG funding with other funding sources such as PA Brownfields for Housing and County Act 137 Affordable Housing Fund to help increase the stock of decent, available, and affordable housing in Lycoming County. Projects completed using CDBG funds may include acquisition, clearance, relocation, historic preservation, or rehabilitation, but only to the extent necessary to eliminate specific conditions detrimental to public health and safety ($95,300).

Accordingly, the Borough has invested significantly in the development of Indian Park, a model Borough facility providing ample open space, pavilions, athletic fields and courts, playground equipment, and a public swimming pool. The Borough has recently embarked on a feasibility study and analysis of the public swimming pool. The facility is showing signs of wear and design deficiency. Montoursville Borough has been working closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to identify the deficiencies, define a plan of renovation, and invest in upgrading the public swimming pool. The Borough has committed FY 2006 funds and anticipates utilizing additional CDBG funds in 2007 and 2008 to continue this project.

The SEDA-COG Community Development staff is committed to providing technical assistance to Montoursville Borough officials with the review and analysis of the draft Flood Protection Feasibility Study prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

South Williamsport Borough – The Community Development staff has administered the Borough’s CDBG program for six years. The following projects are recently completed, under construction, or under development.

C O N T A C T : T o m G r b e n i c k

Muncy Heritage ParkCRC Sstaff, working with the Muncy Historical Society, is establishing a park master plan for an 11 acre site along the West Branch Susquehanna River. The site, overlooking the ‘Last Raft’ crash site, contains historic canal and lock remnants and elements of the community of Port Penn. The master plan, due to be complete in spring 2008, will integrate elements of heritage interpretation, environmental stewardship, healthy living, and regional greenway planning.

PA Wilds PlanningCRC staff continues to serve on the PA Wilds Planning Team, which meets on a monthly basis to provide guidance, coordination, and technical support in the interest of helping local communities plan and prepare for the growth and development impacts associated with the marketing of tourism throughout the PA Wilds.

Williamsport Neighborhood PlanningCRC staff is engaged in a strategic neighborhood planning initiative in the Park Avenue neighborhood in the City of Williamsport. This project actively involves neighborhood residents, property and business owners, and community leaders in the development of a future neighborhood vision, principles for development, and strategies for community mobilization in the Park Avenue area of the city.

Williamsport Parks Master PlansCRC staff worked with five neighborhoods in the City of Williamsport to develop Site Master Plans for five of the city’s neighborhood parks. Staff held meetings with a steering committee, made presentations to the City Council and their public works committee, facilitated five evening design workshops for community residents to participate in, and prepared a final report with accompanying maps to be used for future grant applications for implementation projects in the park.

ARC Furniture ProjectCRC staff conducted regular monthly meetings with participating artisans. Recognizing the niche market nature of the furniture, it was decided to pursue direct contacts, interviews, and meetings with selected interior designers in the Mid Atlantic market place. A target list of designer contacts has been compiled. Contacts will be initiated upon completion of marketing materials intended for distribution to these designers.

Hous ing ProgramSouth Williamsport Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation - The Housing staff is assisting the South Williamsport Borough Council in developing and operating an owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program. To date, the Housing staff has been successful in obtaining over $1,085,000 of federal HOME monies, with which 33 homes have received substantial rehabilitation, with one additional unit is underway. We expect to complete approximately 3 more units with the current grant. South ‘Williamsport has a HOME grant application for $350,000 under review at Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA).

Montoursville Borough - For many years, the Borough was in need of an elderly housing complex. One of the biggest development obstacles was the lack of public sewer. The construction of the Borough’s public sewer system enabled the SEDA-COG Housing Development Corporation (HDC) to work with the Borough to find a suitable building site. The HDC was able to obtain the necessary financing and has built a 32-unit elderly housing complex known as Mill Race Commons. The $3.6 million project was financed through the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, three local banks, and CDBG funds from Lycoming County and Montoursville Borough. The facility is managed by the SEDA-COG HDC. An additional complex is planned to be built on an adjacent site once the development application has been approved.

(Microenterprise Development — Judith Flynn (CPEAN)The Central Pennsylvania Entrepreneurial Assistance Network (CPEAN) is a collaborative public/private alliance of more than 50 partners created to stimulate new business starts, enhance small business expansions, and increase the survival rate of small businesses. The main marketing tool and information portal for the CPEAN is www.businessgrower.com which provides a centralized place for entrepreneurs to access information and guidance on financing assistance, training opportunities, business plan writing, and other technical assistance. In Lycoming County, the CPEAN has provided assistance to 54 entrepreneurs.

Nearly all of these entrepreneurs are ultimately seeking capital to start or expand a small business. To respond to this need, SEDA-COG started the Microloan Fund. The fund was originally created to provide small business loans to qualified borrowers for equipment, working capital and building improvements. The Microloan Fund was reorganized and restructured in 2006 and renamed the Microenterprise Development Program. The new name reflects the program’s expanded mission to provide a combination of training and technical assistance in addition to lending activities to entrepreneurs. To date, the Microenterprise Development Program has completed three loans in Lycoming County.

Muncy Industrial Park Phase II Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Access Road Project, Muncy Creek Township, Lycoming CountyIn 2005, SEDA-COG began working with the Industrial Properties Corporation and Lycoming County to secure $300,000 from ARC to assist in constructing a $468,500 access road at the Muncy Industrial Park Phase II. This application was formally approved by ARC in June 2005 but withdrawn by the applicant due to un-resolvable site issues.

Plastics Business Resource Center (PBRC) Feasibility Study, City of Williamsport, Lycoming CountyStaff assisted the City of Williamsport to secure $40,000 in grant funds from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to partially fund a feasibility study concerning the development a plastics business resource center in downtown Williamsport. Staff also served as a member of the project advisory committee and helped to develop recommendations concerning the design and location of this proposed facility.

SEDA-COG worked closely with the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce in 1999, and again in 2001, to secure both KOZ and KOEZ designation for the River Valley Commerce Park, River Valley Commerce Park South, and the Timber Run Industrial Park sites in Clinton and Brady townships. This work continued in 2001 and 2002 when SEDA-COG, in cooperation with the Chamber, provided assistance to secure two grants from the Commonwealth’s Infrastructure Development Program to assist with water, sewer, and access road improvements at the River Valley Commerce Park needed to accommodate several expanding companies.

In February 2004, at the request of the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce, SEDA-COG incorporated 1,928 acres at various locations in 12 municipalities throughout Lycoming County and 32 acres in Watsontown Borough, Northumberland County, as part of its 2004 KOZ Enhancement pre-qualification application submitted to DCED. In May 2004, 792 acres in 10 municipalities throughout Lycoming County were submitted in SEDA-COG’s final KOZ Enhancement application, which were approved by the Commonwealth to receive KOZ designation in June 2004.

As KOZ Coordinator for the Central Region KOZ, SEDA-COG provides technical assistance to Subzone Coordinators, KOZ property owners, businesses operating in the KOZ, and local officials with regard to KOZ policies and application procedures. In addition, we respond to inquiries regarding the KOZ program from various entities from wanting to know if a location is in a KOZ to searches for KOZ buildings and land.

SEDA-COG also processes all yearly KOZ applications submitted. The following is a summary of the recent number of applications that have been processed in the last three years since the inception of the program where in 1999 only five applications were received.

The Pennsylvania Business Retention and Expansion Program (PA BREP) was established in 1997 to forge better working relationships and stronger collaboration among the network of public, private, state and local economic development organizations. Since its inception, the goal of the program has remained constant - to retain and grow the existing base of businesses and jobs in Pennsylvania by connecting local businesses with resources to help them solve problems, maintain competitiveness, and promote economic vitality. SEDA-COG partners with our county Chambers of Commerce and Industrial Development Corporations to conduct the PA BREP throughout the Central Region. This year, our partners will visit more than 850 companies in the region, conduct one-on-one discussions with company CEOs and executives, making referrals to a network of more than 50 regional organizations that can help address the companies’ needs. Since January 2004, in collaboration with the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce, 454 company visits have been conducted in Lycoming County. As a result of these visits, 135 referrals were sent to our service provider network which resulted in business expansions that yielded a total public financial investment of $2,845,675 and a total private company and bank financial investment of $7,091,800.
