Gaming Economic development & tourism fund (GEDTF) Program

Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund (GEDTF) grants allow municipalities, authorities, councils of government (COGs), non-profit and for-profit businesses to carry out important economic development for current and future use.  Administered by the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County (RAAC), these grants provide financial assistance to entities to facilitate economic development projects in Allegheny County.

The QVCOG has successfully applied for and received a total of four GEDTF grants for its member communities. Summaries of each project can be found below.
