I would like to ask your help to raise funds for the Memorial Statue for the three fallen police officers that is being planned for the front of St. Joseph Church. I have applied for a grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project. This is a Pepsi grant program that anyone can log into to vote for ideas. Our submission was accepted on May 1 and we have all this month to vote. Funding is awarded by popular vote. Ten ideas in each funding category are approved every month. Here’s what to do:
Sign up and vote for the idea — it only takes a minute.
Spread the word through your Facebook, Twitter and e-mail contacts. There’s a link to share. Anyone over 13 can sign up and vote; so get kids, schools, etc. involved.
Please get this out to as many people as possible. We need everyone’s help to make this project happen.
The Bloomfield Development Corporation along with Dollar Bank sponsored a Free Business Financing Workshop for existing and start-up businesses. It was held on April 26 at Alexander’s Italian Bistro, 5104 Liberty Avenue. While everyone enjoyed delicious appetizers, Colleen Molinero from Dollar Bank talked about the different loans available for small and new businesses and how to apply for them. She was followed by Raymond Garofalo also from Dollar Bank who explained how important a good personal credit score is and gave us tips on how to get and maintain one.
Josette Fitzgibbons and John Burke from the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh were there as well. They described the help available to businesses though the URA. Jossette explained the Streetscape, Facade and Best fit programs offered by our Mainstreet Program.
