The Greater Holmesburg Business Association heard from PECO and the Insectarium and discussed plans for an upcoming First Saturday.
The Greater Holmesburg Business Association met last week, welcoming PECO Energy’s Mary Hall to discuss how small businesses can save money on their electric bills.
PECO offers a complimentary on-site analysis and proposal on upgrades; incentives that could cover 40 percent to 60 percent of the cost; interest-free financing; and a post-installation warranty service.
Hall welcomed small business owners to call 844–424–9728 or visit peco.com/SmallBiz
In other news from the Sept. 30 meeting, business owners are making plans for a First Saturday celebration on Nov. 3. Businesses along Frankford Avenue from Sheffield Avenue to Academy Road are being encouraged to have special offers that day.
