ADVISORY – ALLEGHENY COUNTY – Governor Shapiro and Lt. Governor Davis Host Roundtable Highlighting Proposed Investments in Child Care
Governor Josh Shapiro and Lt. Governor Austin Davis will host a roundtable at the YMCA Child Development Center at Duquesne University to talk about the Governor’s emphasis in his 2025-26 Budget Proposal on the child care workforce and his work to make child care more affordable.
During his first two years in office, Governor Shapiro signed into law a historic expansion of the Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit and created a new tax credit for businesses who want to contribute to their employees’ child care costs. Those two initiatives helped make child care more affordable – and the Governor’s proposal this year would make child care more available through an investment of $55 million to support child care workforce recruitment and retention grants.
