Support Literacy & Nature: Sponsor a Storybook Trail!

Come explore our two Storybook Trails (also known as a StoryWalk®) at PV Woods!

A delightful outdoor adventure where you can explore nature while reading interactive story markers along the path.

As our motto says, ‘Step into Nature, Page by Page’. They are both conveniently located at our Main Campus in Collegeville and at our West Campus in Zieglerville. Each Storybook Trail allows you to ‘step into nature’ by displaying a children’s book spread out ‘page by page’ across 22 stations along with fun activities. Each story will be updated every quarter so there will be a total of 8 different stories displayed at our Storybook Trails every year.

We invite businesses and individuals to sponsor this exciting new program. Sponsorship opportunities include Single Title Sponsorship ($250) and Title for Both Trails ($500). PVSD is also seeking sponsors to provide print services for the posters along the trail. For more information, contact Seamus Clune sclune@pvsd.org.

MONTCO 2040 Implementation Grant Program Increases to $3Million

Montgomery County’s Montco 2040 Implementation Grant Program is back again for a new cycle of funding in 2025. The budget for this popular program has increased to $3 million, and the focus categories have expanded to include some of the transportation projects once funded by the County Transportation Program (CTP). The implementation grant program, open to municipalities and their project partners, focuses on projects that implement the goals of the Montco 2040 plan on a local level. For more information, visit the program web page or reach out to Chloe Mohr or David Greenberg with questions about project eligibility or other details.

Small Business Advantage Grant

The 2025 Small Business Advantage Grant is now accepting applications for at least $1 million in available funds. This grant program is offered through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The purpose of this grant is to provide small businesses in Pennsylvania with grant funds for projects that increase energy efficiency, reduce pollution, or protect our waterways. Many different types of small businesses, from manufacturing to retail to agriculture, may be eligible for funding under this program. Funding is awarded first-come, first served so interested applicants should act fast! All program documents, including Program Guidelines and a Grant Calculator, are available on the Small Business Advantage Grant Website. There is also a link on the website to the online application system used to apply for the grant. Additionally, there will be tutorial videos available for everything from an overview of the program to using the Grant Calculator for specific project types. 

Beware of EZ Pass Scam

A new phishing scam is targeting E-ZPass account holders requesting information to settle outstanding toll amounts. The texts claim to be from “Pa Turnpike Toll Services” and center around urgent requests with your account that would result in a late fee if the balance does not get settled. Similar scams have been reported by toll agencies across the country in the past several days.

Customers who receive an unsolicited text, email or similar message suggesting it is from E-ZPass or another toll agency should not click the link. E-ZPass account holders can use approved safe methods to check their accounts such as the PA Turnpike E-ZPass website or the PA Toll Pay app available from the Apple App Store or Google Play store.

Those who receive a fraudulent text can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. The site is dedicated to sharing information on internet crimes across law enforcement agencies.

Montco Tax Rebates for Volunteer Fire & EMS

The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners today authorized a property tax rebate program for volunteer members of fire companies and eligible nonprofit emergency medical service (EMS) agencies in Montgomery County to acknowledge the value and dedication of active EMS volunteers and to encourage others to become involved.  

To qualify for a tax rebate under the Active Volunteer Service Tax Rebate Program, an individual must have been a member of a volunteer fire company or eligible EMS agency for the entire eligibility period. Emergency responders will be able to receive a rebate of 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of their real estate property tax of Montgomery County, depending on their participation in emergency response calls, trainings, public education activities, leadership roles, and other activities.

Dr. Toya Gordon, Journey Well MD Brrings Specialized Women's Health Care to Collegeville!

Journey Well MD is bringing a highly specialized, personalized approach to women's healthcare that has been largely unavailable in our region. As a double board-certified Urogynecologist and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgeon, Dr. Gordon provides expert care for women at every stage of life—from gynecologic care and family planning to menopause, pelvic floor health, and beyond.

The community response has been incredible, with more than 100 patients on the waiting list before the practice even opened—highlighting the tremendous need for this type of specialized care.

We're especially proud that Dr. Gordon chose to put down roots here in Collegeville and that the Perkiomen Valley Chamber had the opportunity to celebrate this milestone with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in partnership with the Montgomery County Commerce Department, legislative officials, family and friends.

Please join us in welcoming Journey Well MD to the Perkiomen Valley business community, and take a moment to read this wonderful feature from Montco Today to learn more about Dr. Gordon's vision of helping women "journey well" through every stage of life.

Congratulations, Dr. Gordon—we wish you continued success!
