Once again Pennsylvania is facing budget cuts and state weed and seed funding is one of the items at risk.  The program needs only $450,000 of state funds to run the program and manage $2.7 million federal dollars.  Without the state support, the $2.7 million could be sent to other states and programs. 
 
Please show your support for Oil City Weed and Seed by contacting your local legislators by phone, e-mail or letter.  A sample letter is provided here:  Legislative Support Letter.
