The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a $499,000 Project Grant under the Congressional Grants Program (CFDA 59.059) to Drive, a U.S. local government entity, to support small business development and entrepreneurship initiatives in Danville, PA. The grant, awarded on July 1, 2024, will fund a range of programmatic activities such as business counseling, technical assistance, and workforce training, as well as community economic development projects including construction activities. The funding is part of the SBA's Congressional Community Project Funding program, which aims to deliver comprehensive support to foster small business growth and development, particularly in underserved entrepreneurial communities. This award demonstrates Drive's capacity to manage direct federal funding and collaborate with other organizations on federally funded projects, as the entity has also received grants from the USDA and served as a sub-recipient for a community connectivity initiative.
