The U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $1.45 million Project Grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program to Juniata College. The grant funds will support renovations to the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership to provide new office space for local businesses in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Upon completion, the project aims to create and retain local jobs and attract private investment by housing health, education, and other organizations serving the community. The EAA program assists regions facing adverse economic changes through technical assistance and funding for public works and infrastructure projects. This award will help diversify the economic base for the Huntingdon region which has been impacted by declines in manufacturing and mining industries.
