ALLENTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE

Thursday, December 4, 2008, Old Allentown Preservation Association's office was the site for a press conference announcing the new Allentown Neighborhood Development Alliance - ANDA. ANDA is a partnership to strengthen Elm Street and 7th Street Main St. programs.

OAPA deeply appreciates the vote of confidence from our generous funders - National Penn Bancshares/KNBT and PPL. Fueled in part by tax credits from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, National Penn/KNBT has committed a total of $1,050,000 and PPL has committed $450,000 over six years to support the newly-established Allentown Neighborhood Development Alliance. This program will enhance the Elm Street community program managed by OAPA and the Main Street program operated by the Community Action Development Corporation.

Stay tuned as we confirm our 2009 initiatives.

AGAIN - A HUGE THANK YOU TO NATIONAL PENN BANCSHARES/KNBT AND PPL!
