funding? no funding? who keeps tabs on funding if granted?

So Farmer in the Dell over at Westtown where it used to be Pete’s is applying for federal and possibly other grants?

https://houlahan.house.gov/priorities/community-project-funding.htm

Hey grants are there to be applied for. But is this barn project that will be completed while the fields lay fallow and there is limited farming, because the place is not technically certified organic yet?

And if Farmer Jawn no longer has a business at 6730 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19119 how can the Farmer Jawn Friends and Foundation Fund have this as an address? And because Westtown technically owns the land and the structures she is leasing, should they be the ones in fact applying for these grants?

I followed the link to the list of applications on Congresswoman Houlahan’s site, and this is what I saw

So, technically Farmer Jawn is a tenant on this land. Again, Westtown School owns it. I was unable to find any information about this on Westtown’s site. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place?

I am not saying that this would be a bad idea or project AT ALL. What I AM saying is that there are a lot of questions and loose ends surrounding the Farmer Jawn of it all aren’t there? This is a lot of money and it’s taxpayer money, we are taxpayers, so when you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t seem particularly transparent about things, it makes it hard to get behind things doesn’t it? (And yes, that is an opinion and yes that is allowed.)

The Daily Local reported on this grant project, but I didn’t see that Farmer Jawn received a grant.

I will be curious as to how this all pans out.

Dean, Houlahan announce federal funding for local projects

Chester County

• $977,573 for Ann’s Heart, 35 Hall St., Phoenixville, Purchase of Campus.

The funding would be used for the acquisition of the campus that they currently lease. The project will ensure the location continues as a hub for supportive services such as housing case management, an emergency shelter, and a commercial kitchen for food preparation and distribution.

• $117,000 for Phoenixville Police Department, Law Enforcement 21st Century Policing Initiative.

  1. Absurd? Is there a major or minor ‘fib’ in the request?
    Is there really a FarmerJawn and Friends Foundation Fund?
    I mean a legitimate Foundation or Fund.
