WEST READING, May 27 – State Rep. Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz, D-Berks, joined Gov. Josh Shapiro and local leaders yesterday for a tour of West Reading to announce millions of dollars in funding for main streets across Pennsylvania, including $60,000 for the West Reading Community Revitalization Fund.
This funding will serve to improve the façade of the West Reading Motor Club, a restaurant based in a building that has stood at 416 Penn Ave. since 1914. The funding for the project comes from the Main Street Matters program, which serves to revitalize downtowns, support small businesses and strengthen local economies.
“As a former small business owner, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to run a business. It comes with sacrifices, stress, and risks every single day,” said Cepeda-Freytiz. “This investment is bringing crucial funds back into our community and shows the true impact our neighbors have made in making West Reading a destination.
“I am grateful to see this funding come back to West Reading, and I will continue to advocate for more funding to support our small business community.”
