Lt. Gov. Austin Davis joined state and local leaders today at a visit to Pour On Center in Ebensburg to highlight how the Shapiro-Davis Administration is supporting Pennsylvania Main Streets, small businesses and local communities. Earlier this week Gov. Josh Shapiro stopped by West Philadelphia and Allegheny County small businesses on a "Main Street Matters" tour to show how his 2024-25 budget budget proposal will create real economic opportunity for Pennsylvanians all across the Commonwealth. The Shapiro-Davis budget proposes more than $600 million in total new and expanded economic development investments, including $25 million for the newly proposed Main Street Matters program to support small businesses and commercial corridors that are the backbone of Pennsylvania communities. "Pennsylvania's downtowns and Main Streets are often windows into our past, but Governor Shapiro and I believe they can be economic engines for our future," said Lt. Gov. Austin Davis. "Our 'Main Streets Matter' program will invest $25 million into rebuilding Pennsylvania's commercial business districts and revitalizing our communities to become places where businesses can grow and families can thrive."
