Representatives of the Pennsylvania Kinzua Pathways plan, from left, Coralee Wenzel, Joe Colosimo and Ines Nelson accept a $10,000 grant check from the Community Foundation of Warren County Executive Director Dr. Charles MacKenzie, far right, during a reception Tuesday evening at the Conewango Club of Warren.

The grant was awarded in celebration of 60 years of philanthropy by the Community Foundation of Warren County, which held an online voting competition to determine the winner. Colosimo said the money will be used to develop a website that will market the plan and promote the region.

PKP is a community oriented set of projects focused around enhancing the Allegheny Reservoir area. Its main objectives are to increase historical awareness and provide connectivity among the sites. To date, during the "awareness" phase of the project we have conducted over 60 meetings with organizations, governmental agencies, and other potential stake-holders.

As we move into the next phase, we have identified the need to carry our focus on communication and collaboration to the internet with a fully interactive web site that will serve as a virtual hub, through which the current resources can be promoted to attract visitors to the area, and parallel to that, PKP progress can be tracked, and other internal communications can be shared.
