White Pine Country Store, Cafe & Lodge | Application Preview
White Pine Country Store, Cafe & Lodge is seeking government grant funding to urgently replace its aging fuel delivery system, a critical infrastructure need for the motorized recreational community it serves. The business, founded and operated by a mother-daughter team as a second-career pursuit of the American dream, plans to expand the lodge to eight rooms, broaden the cafe menu, and feature locally produced products in its general store.
The only nearby fuel alternative is eight miles away and difficult to reach for off-road and snowmobile traffic. In contrast, White Pine has a strategic advantage due to its location on the Pennsylvania Pilot Trail and direct access to snowmobile trails, making it a vital hub for recreational users. The requested funding will help sustain and grow a small, women-led business that supports local tourism and meets a pressing infrastructure need in the region.
