Governor Tom Wolf congratulated and praised the public service of five Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) employees for the efforts to ensure that individuals and local governments had access to critical funding resources offered through DCED.

The employees are among 51 employees from 10 agencies receiving Governor's Awards for Excellence for exceptional accomplishments in 2020.

"To say the past year has been challenging is a major understatement, so I am honored to celebrate our employees identified by their peers as having gone above and beyond to serve the commonwealth during likely the most unprecedented time we have faced," said Gov. Wolf.

Additionally, the efforts of CSC supported assisting applicants, managing nearly 28,000 applications for funding sources and responding to over 83,000 CSC inquiries.
