Federal stimulus funding distributed among more than two dozen Westmoreland County programs is expected to create 75 jobs, reports the Tribune-Review.
Two businesses will receive nearly 30 percent of the funding, with $230,000 going to the creation of (Westmoreland Community Action’s) County Demo Depot and $110,000 to Advanced Geo Solutions (Green Initiative) of Greensburg.
Westmoreland Community Action is starting a nonprofit material reuse business with Demo Depot. It seeks to reduce waste by recycling building materials such as windows, doors, sinks and lights. The federal money will help in the search for a warehouse and will pay for staff and equipment.
