Rep. Nick Langworthy has announced that the City of Dunkirk and the Town of Mina have each been awarded $50,000 by the Appalachian Regional Commission for their Internal Capacity Building Projects.

These projects will allow the City of Dunkirk and the Town of Mina to implement an online reporting system to increase staff capacity and record keeping and provide professional development opportunities in the area of ArcGIS technology. By improving both human resources and GIS capabilities, they will be better equipped to navigate economic challenges and work towards better efficiency.

“I’m proud to announce these two ARC grants for the City of Dunkirk and the Town of Mina, which will provide needed resources to strengthen their workforce and better serve Chautauqua County,” said Langworthy. “This funding will be used to update their technology and optimize efficiency, which is something everyone will benefit from.”
