About this grant

The Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites Program (PA SITES) was established to provide grant and loan funding to eligible applicants to develop competitive sites for businesses to relocate or expand within the Commonwealth.

The Construction Grants and Loans component provides grants and loans to serve as gap financing for strategic sites that need financial assistance to help reduce development risk for businesses. The grant and loan funding is intended to help finance strategic investments that will enhance sites across the Commonwealth to effectively compete for expanding and relocating businesses. The program will help reduce development risk for businesses by timeline reduction from the development of public infrastructure or reducing unknown development costs.

Funding type: Grant, loan Award: not published as a fixed amount Matching: Applications will be competitively evaluated based on the amount of matching funds invested into the project. To be eligible for a PA SITES grant and/or loan, all other funding must be committed for the proposed project. The evaluation includes whether the applicant has the funding necessary to complete the project and the amount and sources of non-state source matching money proposed to be invested in the project. Grant cycle: Reoccurring Funding source: State Deadline: 2035-12-31 Source: Pennsylvania's grant directory (pa.gov/grants), listed as accepting applications.
