Three redevelopment assistance capital program (RACP) grants, with a combined total of nearly $5 million, have been awarded to projects in Jefferson and McKean counties, according to Senator Cris Dush (R-25) and Representatives Brian Smith (R-66) and Martin Causer (R-67).
In Jefferson County, a $1.1 million grant was awarded to the Jefferson County Dubois Area Vocational Technical School (Jeff Tech), located in Winslow Township, for a project to construct, equip, and furnish a new facility to house Jeff Tech’s farm-to-refrigerator training program which is intended to address a shortage of skilled meat processing manpower in our region. The new facility will serve both secondary and adult students seeking to acquire skills for employment in the meat processing industry.
