Celebrating 50 Years of Grimm Construction

I had the privilege of attending a beautiful celebration marking a major milestone — the 50th anniversary of Grimm Construction.

As a multi-generational contractor business, Grimm Construction has earned an outstanding reputation for its professionalism, quality workmanship and strong ethics. Under the leadership of Rob Grimm, the company has not only grown and succeeded in business but has consistently given back to our community in meaningful and often humble ways.

It’s businesses like Grimm Construction — rooted in family values, committed to excellence and devoted to service — that help strengthen northeastern Pennsylvania.

Happy 50th anniversary to Grimm Construction!

Recognizing Northeast Infrastructure’s $200 Million Federal Contract

Last week, I was thrilled to join in celebrating an extraordinary achievement by Northeast Infrastructure (NEI) of Honesdale. The company was awarded a $200 million contract from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs — an accomplishment that speaks to their hard work, expertise and dedication.

As a veteran-owned business, NEI stands as an outstanding example of leadership and service within our community. Their success reflects not only strong business practices, but also the values and discipline instilled through military service.

I am incredibly proud to see a local company reach this level of achievement, and even more proud of the positive impact it will have on our region and our veterans. Congratulations again to NEI on this well-deserved milestone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Oct. 3, 1863, months after the Battle of Gettysburg and with victory in mind, as well as its cost, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation encouraging Americans “in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea, and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving and prayer.”

Thanksgiving has been celebrated officially in the United States ever since.

I hope you and your loved ones have a happy Thanksgiving filled with love, gratitude and hope.

PA Tradition: Statewide Firearms Deer Season Begins Nov. 29

Pennsylvania’s statewide firearms deer season runs from Nov. 29 through Dec. 13 and includes two Sundays, Nov. 30 and Dec. 7. More than half a million hunters are expected to take part in this traditional outdoor recreation and essential wildlife management.

If you’re taking to the field, please consider participating in the Hunters Sharing the Harvest program, which lets hunters donate deer – at no cost – at any one of more than 100 licensed butcher shops across 56 counties. Venison is then processed for distribution statewide through regional food banks in partnership with Feeding Pennsylvania and Hunger-Free Pennsylvania.

Last year’s donations led to a record 283,789 pounds of venison, which equated to about 1.1 million servings of lean, nutritious meat for food-insecure individuals and families.

Shop Local on Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday will be held Saturday, Nov. 29, spotlighting the role that small businesses play in our communities.  

The holiday season is a wonderful time to shop small. More than 1.1 million small businesses in Pennsylvania benefit their local economies and employ 2.5 million people.
