<p>Ron&#8217;s Service Station in Hanover Twp. received a $90,000 loan through the NEPA Alliance Tri-District loan fund as part of a total project costing $200,000 for the purchase of land &amp; building. Other project funds consisted of a $90,000 loan from First Keystone Community Bank and a $20,000 equity injection from the borrower. This project was brought to NEPA Alliance through our partnership with the Wilkes University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the PREP network.</p><p>Ron&#8217;s Service Station is owned by Ron May Jr. and his wife, Brenda.
