Do you know about the ARISE initiative?

Administered by the Appalachia Regional Commission (ARC), the Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger Economies (ARISE) is a new program designed to advance large-scale projects that will catalyze local economies throughout Appalachia. Projects that meet program objectives can receive Planning Grants up to $500,000 or Implementation Grants up to $10 million.

 Strategic Solutions LLC is pleased to announce that we have been pre-qualified as a consultant for ARISE. This means that we can assist and collaborate with non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other eligible applicants that wish to pursue grant funding through the program. 

 You probably have questions, and we’re here to answer them! If we don’t have answers at our fingertips, we can get them from Northwest Commission Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission staff, with whom we convene regularly. The Northwest Commission is leading the ARISE program in Western PA. Additional details about ARISE requirements can be found here: arc.gov/arise. Or you can contact us directly at Info@strategic-solutionsllc.com  

 If you represent a government entity, a non-profit organization, or even another planning or design firm, we’d be happy to talk with you about ways we can help advance any vital projects in the tri-state region.
