Congressman Dwight Evans said the following on his Facebook page:
“Congratulations to D.C. Humphrys CoverSports in Kingsessing for receiving a well-deserved $1 million grant to expand and hire more people from the neighborhood!
State Rep. James Roebuck led the request for this funding at the state level, and I welcome this good news. This is an example of the type of community-minded business that is helping to rebuild Philadelphia, block by block. I toured the business in June to learn more.”
Despite being announced in February, this story continues to circulate, appearing on over 133 news websites to date.
