The March Business at Breakfast featured a “State of the Region” address by Coy Harville, Chairman of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, and Sherman Saunders, Mayor of the City of Danville. Both speakers discussed the regional cooperation between the two localities and the tremendous advances that have been made for our region due to the cooperation. Pictured, at left, are Harville and Saunders.
The Danville Regional Foundation recently announced a grant to a new coalition that aims to put more money in the pockets of the working poor and boost the economy of the region.
The Foundation has awarded a grant of $628,000 over three years to the BEST Coalition, an organization formed by the United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County, Pittsylvania County Community Action, Virginia Legal Aid Society, and Caswell County Senior Center. BEST is an acronym for Building Economic Success Together.
The goal of the BEST Coalition is to increase family self-sufficiency by developing an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) initiative for Danville, Caswell and Pittsylvania counties.
The announcement was made during the Chamber’s Business at Breakfast program in February.
