Pennsylvania receives $5K grant from U.S. Small Business Administration
The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development has received a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The grant is part of $18 million in funding awarded to 47 state international trade agencies through SBA’s competitive State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) to support export growth among U.S. small businesses.
STEP is designed to meet three distinctive goals: to increase the number of small businesses that export, to increase the value of exports for small businesses, and to increase the number of small businesses that explore significant new trade opportunities.
