CEED Featured on Cover of County M/W/DBE Department Annual Report

CEED was honored with front-page coverage on the 2010 Annual Report of the Allegheny County Minority/ Women/Disabled Business Enterprise (M/W/DBE) Department, complete with a photograph and lead article about the announcement that we had received a $300,000 grant from the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The Allegheny M/W/DBE Department began assisting CEED with the process of acquiring the EDA grant in 2010 in order to facilitate the creation of new jobs and generate private investment in small businesses that are a key building block in strengthening challenges sections of the county, the report said.

“Allegheny County is always happy to work with non-profits such as CEED in promoting job creation and business development in economically depressed communities,” said then County Executive Dan Onorato.

“EDA makes strategic investments to expand access to innovators and entrepreneurs, and provide the resources they need to thrive and bring their ideas to market,” said the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development.
