New Opportunity for Small Businesses to Expand Their Markets, Grow Sales

The pandemic has hit all of our small businesses hard, and to help them rebound, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) has created a new online e-commerce directory: CommonGoods.

The goal is to connect PA small businesses with consumers, especially those who want to shop local.

According to the DCED’s directory, there are currently a total of five businesses listed for Cameron, Clinton and Elk counties, but no businesses, as yet, listed for Clearfield, Jefferson, McKean, Potter or Tioga counties.

You could be one of the first to start connecting with customers through this new e-commerce opportunity.

I went to the website, CommonGoods, and two businesses from Cameron County are listed.

Spring Clean Up Continues in Emporium

Volunteers of all ages helped!

Saturday, April 16, the Emporium Volunteer Fire Department helped kick off a spring clean-up in downtown Emporium. Volunteers from the department hosed down the sidewalks in the business section of town.

Next weekend, volunteers from the Sylvan Heritage Council working with the Emporium Borough Street Crew, will freshen up the mulch at the landscaped areas the SHC maintains. One of the first projects the SHC completed was replacing the weathered Welcome to Emporium signs at the east and west ends of town and professionally landscaping both areas.

The SHC continues to maintain the East End Triangle: a landscaping project at the intersection of Routes 120 and 155 which was completed in November 2012 and the Erie Triangle which was landscaped with the cooperation of the Straub Insurance Agency.

The hallmark of the Sylvan Heritage Council is community beautification.

“Making our hometown more beautiful – one lasting project at a time.”

PennDOT Launches Webpage for Winslow Hill Project

PennDOT Launches Webpage for Winslow Hill Project 04/11/2022 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has launched a webpage for the Winslow Hill Road project in Elk County and is encouraging the public to check the site for regular updates.

https://www.penndot.pa.gov/RegionalOffices/district-2

Work on the project is expected to start on Monday, April 18. The project includes roadway widening and reconstruction over a 5.4 mile section of Winslow Hill Road (T-520) in Benezette Township. The work zone stretches from the bottom of Winslow Hill to the top of the hill past the PA State Game Lands Elk Viewing Center near Dewey Road.

Other work includes improvements of roadway shoulders to enhance pedestrian movements and emergency vehicle accommodation, replacement of an existing metal pipe culvert, as well as drainage and guide rail updates.

Later this spring/summer, a 3-day detour will be implemented utilizing SR 555 and Winslow Hill Rd. The only work to be done under the detour is the installation of an elliptical culvert pipe. Once the pipe is installed, all other operations will be performed with a daylight, single-lane traffic pattern controlled by flaggers.

Once complete in mid-August, PennDOT expects that the project will enhance safety for local residents as well as visitors. This $2.8 million project was made possible by state Multimodal Transportation funds. The contractor for this job is Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College.

https://www.penndot.pa.gov/RegionalOffices/district-2/ConstructionsProjectsAndRoadwork/Pages/Winslow-Hill-Road.aspx

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
