MVA WORKS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

A Community Development Focus

The Mon Valley Alliance (MVA), when it was formed in 2016, made it its mission to be more involved in the communities it serves and to support shorter term community projects that improve the quality of life for residents and attract new people to the region.

This is evidenced by our current projects, but we realize much work still needs to be done. The MVA is interested in participating in projects that make our communities more livable.

We support the Mon Valley with

• Workforce programs
• Government Collaboration
• Fiscal sponsorship for municipality projects that assist in taking contributions and grants in support
• Advocacy
