The Commission’s efforts in support of improving the quality of life for its regional citizenry are not undertaken unilaterally. In fact, nearly every facet of SAP&DC’s efforts are in partnership with other organizations, public bodies, non-profits and the private sector.
“Progress Through Regional Cooperation” is more than a slogan at the Southern Alleghenies Commission, and the cooperative efforts of “our partners” is hereby recognized.
The following is merely representative of the numerous other excellent organizations, and therefore, any omissions should not be taken as intentional.
