GRCA’s certified economic development organization, the Greater Berks Develop- ment Fund (GBDF) is happy to have guided G&T Indus- tries through the purchasing procedure. “This is a great beginning for this overall 50+ acre site.

She not only worked Super Bowl LV last season, but also was named one of Sports Illustrated's 100 Most Influential NFL Figures of All Time. The An- nual Dinner is the area’s largest gathering of business and community leaders, with an expected crowd of around 1,000 people. With the same unflappabili- ty that it takes to make a split- second call on the field, Thom- as will share key insights on overcoming adversity – and the odds – finding your pas- sion while maintaining work- life balance, decision-making, and not only succeeding as a female in a male-dominated industry but achieving break- through success for males and females alike.
