Eric J. White
Ambassador, Planner, and Manager
Eric is known as the Ambassador for Wrightsville. Eric represents our Borough at meetings and outings with all levels of government. He “stops and opts for photo ops” and maintains relationships with those who help Wrightsville get grants and funding.
Most recently, these grants include those for Waterfront Park’s forthcoming ADA ramp to launch equipment designed to assist the handicapped so they can enjoy the Susquehanna River recreation. Also, a half a million for the Mifflin House project, a historic stop on the Underground Railroad and site of the battle of Wrightsville during the Civil War. The Mifflin House is planned to become the visitor gateway and headquarters for the Susquehanna National Heritage Area.
So, what does it really take to win $6,800,000 in grants?
