At the 4th annual Partner Appreciation Reception on November 12, the Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance celebrated community partners and recognized Coatesville native Mondre Alston as the 2024 recipient of the Tammy Cansler-Miles Economic Development Award. Alston accepted the award in front of a crowd of more than 100 community partners who gathered for the event held at the Arches in Coatesville.
