U.S. Rep. Tom Marino and state Reps. Fred Keller and Lynda Schlegel Culver toured the Sunbury Generation Power plant in Shamokin Dam on Monday, Feb. 19. The purpose of the tour was to hear directly from business owners about how government at both the federal and state levels can positively support businesses, and to discuss the impact of the recent federal tax changes. The lawmakers visited other local businesses in Snyder County.

Local government officials and leaders of community nonprofit organizations attended a grant writing seminar hosted by Reps. Fred Keller, Garth Everett and Lynda Schlegel Culver at Middlecreek Area Community Center in Beaver Springs. The event featured a presentation by Penn State Cooperative Extension, which focused on assessing grant opportunities, identifying the components of an effective proposal, understanding how proposals are reviewed and more. The seminar was sponsored by the Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau. Click here to view the grant writing booklet, and click here to review the Power Point presentation.
