How Can We Help?
As the department charged with coordinating success in economic and residential development, ACED continues to be aware of opportunities for both large-scale development and neighborhood-based projects by working with local organizations, municipalities, businesses and residents. With this collaboration we have been able to advance projects that will serve the entire region, as well as some that are focused on individual neighborhoods.
We are deeply appreciative of the support of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States government. We also are grateful for the assistance of municipal officials as well as the foundation community, whose support has been especially generous.
I am just as appreciative of the outstanding service of the men and women of ACED. They blend excellence in their fields with commitment to the community, a rare combination that forms the foundation of our success. Many dedicate their careers to our mission. Their often-unsung contributions are among the wonderful stories inside the numbers.
