U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, announced $400,000 in funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission on Tuesday for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance’s PREP Program.

The program provides hands-on technical assistance to small and medium-sized businesses and local governments in the form of business financing, export promotion and procurement assistance.

“We all want our region to be competitive nationally and one way we achieve that is by having a well-educated and well-trained workforce and local businesses with access to the resources and information they need,” Cartwright said.
