Letter from the Editor
From the moment you open this issue, I’m sure you’ll sense the energy of a region on the move. Greater Reading has spent the last two years building bridges— literally. I hope this edition captures at least a small part of the momentum. In our cover story, meet the 22 winning projects from the biannual Building Berks Awards, which include the adaptive reuse of Helping Harvest Commercial Kitchen to the Peach Street Bridge reconstruction. These projects represent an investment of $186 million, 1.3 million-square-feet of development and 2,600 jobs created or retained. Each winner, from the new retail marvel Super Natural & Fresh Produce III to the historic Centre Park revitalization, shines a spotlight on the vision and collaboration that keep our community thriving. And don’t forget to check out the interactive map where you’ll not only learn more about the winners, but also the other nominated projects.
Just as those construction crews turned plans into new spaces, another local company is celebrating a milestone worth noticing. Read how SolveIT Solutions LLC evolved from a basement workstation into a 6,800-square-foot headquarters over 25 years. Founder Troy Kantner’s early days of juggling DJ gigs, school at Berks Technical Institute and marathon troubleshooting sessions became a proactive IT partner that now uses cutting-edge AI tools. Kantner credits the company’s longevity to loyal clients, dedicated team members and the supportive Greater Reading community.
Speaking of journeys that start small and grow, our feel-good feature about Kim Lewis transports you to the rim of the Grand Canyon. What began as a 23.9-mile trek, sparked a dream of crafting souvenirs inspired by the natural world. That initial folding-table setup at local craft shows evolved into a full-circle moment: handmade ornaments, keychains and jewelry sold right inside national park gift shops.
Meanwhile, technology continues its own steady ascent, and no trend feels more timely than artificial intelligence (AI). Learn why AI isn’t just another headline but a practical tool for all businesses. Retailers are automating restocking, consultants are summarizing reports in seconds and manufacturers are streamlining safety documentation—all with AI-driven efficiency. If you’ve hesitated to explore this ever-evolving tool, consider this article your invitation.
Whether you’re admiring the gleaming new buildings honored at the Building Berks Awards or thinking about the next move in your own venture, this edition is designed to inspire. Enjoy the read! CQ

From Basement Beginnings to IT Backbone
SolveIT Celebrates 25 Years of Service & Solutions
By
Twenty-five years ago, a temporary workstation in a Berks County basement became the headquarters of a small IT side project. Today, that project is SolveIT Solutions LLC, a multi-faceted business serving Berks County and surrounding areas.
Founded in 2000 by Troy Kantner, SolveIT’s President and CEO, the company began as a side project to help pay bills. Kantner, a military veteran, was balancing school at Berks Technical Institute, a job at Staples and even running a DJ company when referrals started coming in. From those humble beginnings, SolveIT has grown into a trusted IT partner for businesses and non-profits alike.
As things kept growing, the work grew exponentially. At this time there was a very small team managing the business; but, for the amount of work, it was still a lot to manage.
“It was very long, 16-to-17-hour days,” Kantner said. “We were doing all the technical work. We were doing the billing, we were doing the accounts receivable, the accounts payable. We were doing everything until we could afford to get a bookkeeper.”
Back then, SolveIT was still a reactive company. There was even a time where Kantner worked for 36 hours straight to get a server back up after a catastrophic incident. Luckily, in that moment, every file was saved, and nothing was lost.
The chaos of those early days was undoubtedly restrictive, but it enabled the company to continue growing. Now, Kantner is proud to say that SolveIT is a proactive company, one that works to solve problems before they arise.
As the company celebrates its 25th anniversary, Kantner believes that longevity is owed to clients who continue to support them, as well as the people who work at the company now.
“It’s just such a different atmosphere in such a better place, and it’s a lot less [chaotic],” Kantner said. “The team does a really good job to find the solutions and document them and learn from them so we can use them for other people when the issues come up again.”
One of the biggest recent developments in technology has been the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), which Kantner says has posed both issues and benefits to the IT world.
Lane Lannan, Communications & Marketing Intern, GRCA
“You’ve just got to be cognizant of the security; there’s some things out there that people are using it for that are not good,” he said. “There are more tools being put in place that have AI to help us counter the stuff that we’re coming up against. We have to evaluate those, and they do a great job in the engineering team here of trying them out to see which one works best.”
Among those tools are early detection and rapid response (EDRR), managed detection and response (MDR) and extended detection and response (XDR). All are crucial to cybersecurity, and all are becoming more efficient with the help of AI. These programs can detect when something is happening and shut it down before it spreads and negatively affects something else.
With the growth of new technologies to counter new threats, as well as a perfectly outfitted 6,800-square-foot headquarters, everything is going right for SolveIT. While this is naturally due to the hard work of Kantner and his team, there are others that have played a huge role in the success of SolveIT: the Greater Reading area.
“We do have a great community. I am just so grateful to Greater Reading for being so welcoming to us,” Kantner said. “We’ve had a lot of help over the last 25 years to get to where we are.”
This help has not gone unrewarded, though. As SolveIT has continued to grow, it has made sure to give back to the community whenever possible. This has been done through many things that have mainly been kept out of the public eye, which is something that was a direct desire of Kantner and his wife.
“We don’t broadcast and take pictures to be posted on social media,” Kantner said. “We feel that giving isn’t always about the hype; it’s about truly giving back to the community and the nonprofits.
“We didn’t want to do something and have the focus be on us. There was a point where I was able to afford to give back monetarily, and it was something my wife and I both felt good about. And that’s when we decided that we weren’t going to necessarily brag about it, we just kind of go under the carpet.”
As SolveIT celebrates 25 years, Kantner reflects on the company’s journey with gratitude for both the team and the clients who have supported them along the way.
“I definitely didn’t do this myself; I’ve been surrounded by good people,” he said. “We really try to communicate the entire time and be an extension of your team to make sure that if there is anything along the way, we get it resolved.” CQ
From Rim to Rim to Retail:
My Grand Canyon Story
By Kim Lewis, Owner, Kim R. Lewis Design/Urban Charm
It started with 23.9 grueling miles, 5,150 feet of elevation gain, four unforgettable days—and a dream.
I hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim, one step at a time, through ancient rock layers, endless switchbacks, and silence so vast it echoed in my soul. Each day brought a new challenge: blistered feet, aching legs, scorching sun. But it also brought wonder —the kind of beauty that reminds you how small we are, and how lucky we are to witness it.
I crossed the Colorado River with trembling legs and a full heart. I camped under a sky littered with stars. I climbed out the other side transformed—stronger, more grounded and more inspired than ever.
That hike wasn’t the beginning or the end—it was a milestone in a much bigger journey. My husband Tom and I have been to 48 of the 63 U.S. National Parks, chasing awe and collecting memories. The parks are more than places we visit— they’re part of who we are. They are my passion.
Years later, I returned to the Grand Canyon. Not as a hiker, but as a creator.
Today, I design and sell handcrafted souvenirs to national parks—ornaments, keychains and jewelry— inspired by the beauty of the outdoors. My creations are sold right at the Grand Canyon, where hikers, dreamers and adventurers walk the same paths.
“Once
I sell to the Grand Canyon, I’ll know I’ve MADE IT.”
That’s what I used to tell everyone, half joking, half dreaming, while setting up my little table at local craft shows. I had no idea that nearly 10 years later, that dream would come true.
I went from selling at local craft shows to handcrafting souvenirs for visitors of these incredible places. Each piece I make is inspired by the wild beauty of the parks and the stories we carry home from them. These moments are more than a business win. They are a personal milestone, a full-circle accomplishment a decade in the making.
The Grand Canyon didn’t just take my breath away—it gave me a vision. And now I get to share that vision with others, one handmade piece at a time.

How Did I Do It?
People often ask how I went from a folding table at local craft shows to seeing my work in national park gift shops. The truth? It wasn’t one big leap—it was a series of small, determined steps:
• Research: I studied the parks, the visitor experience and what made souvenirs meaningful enough for people to take home.
• Trade Shows: I invested in attending industry shows, where I could showcase my work to buyers and learn from others in the travel and gift market.
• Meetings in Person: I built relationships face-to-face— visiting shops, introducing myself and sharing my passion. Nothing replaces the power of a genuine connection.
It took persistence, countless rejections and years of trial and error. But step by step, just like hiking out of the canyon, I kept going.
What’s Next?
Our journey is filled with meaning every step of the way and my husband and I are not stopping here.
Expanding to more parks—including Yellowstone National Park —as well as museums, cruise lines and travel destinations where people go to connect with nature, history and wonder.
I get to keep sharing that story—and a piece of that magic— with travelers across the country and beyond. CQ
Pitch Perfect
Annual Picnic Caps Off Summer in Style
By Katie Johnsen, Events Coordinator, GRCA
The 2025 GRCA Annual Picnic at FirstEnergy Stadium brought the business community together for a summer afternoon full of connection and camaraderie. More than 350 members and guests gathered to enjoy ballpark favorites, refreshing drinks and plenty of chances to relax and catch up. Friendly rivalries popped up around games of cornhole and giant Jenga. While that was happening, Lucky Penny the Pig made her rounds and Screwball, the Fightin’ Phils’ mascot, stopped in to stir up laughs and photo ops.
Live music from Miss Behavin’ added just the right touch to the atmosphere. Their easygoing, jazz-tinged sound kept energy high but conversation-friendly, striking the perfect balance for an afternoon of networking.
The 3rd annual Berks Biz Cornament drew a competitive crowd once again. After several close matchups, “I Am Cornholio”—made
up of Bryon Kauffman and Ian Gendreau of EthoSource—earned bragging rights and the championship title. The teamwork between colleagues highlighted the spirit of fun and partnership at the heart of this event.
On the field, 12 power hitters took their best swings in the Home Run Derby. Among them were three women representing GRCA and its cornerstone programs, Women2Women and the Family Business Alliance, a testament to the growing presence of women leaders across our community. After the dust settled and bats were put away, Vince Sciortino from Herbein + Company claimed the top prize.
The afternoon wrapped up with plenty of smiles, new connections and stories that will carry long past summer—another successful chapter in the Annual Picnic tradition. CQ

Is AI Just a Trend or a Tool You’re Missing Out On?
By Alyse Mitten, Certified AI Consultant, Interlace Communications, Inc.
is everywhere right now—from your phone to your favorite software. But is it all hype, or is it something your business should be paying attention to?
I’ll give you a spoiler right up front: It’s not just a trend.
It’s a shift—and like every major shift before it, businesses that take early, thoughtful action will have the advantage.
I’m excited to share how AI is already showing up in real-world businesses—and how you can start thinking about it as a tool, not a tech fad.
The Trend Mentality: “Let’s Wait and See”
It’s completely understandable to feel cautious when a new technology grabs headlines. We’ve all seen fads come and go. Remember when people said websites were just for tech companies? Or that social media was just for kids?
Many businesses took a “wait and see” approach back then. Some caught up. Others are still catching up today.
What is the Risk in Waiting to Implement AI?
Waiting too long could mean missing out on real, everyday efficiencies—and giving competitors a head start.
When ChatGPT was unveiled November 30, 2022, it stepped
into the mainstream, making powerful, practical tools accessible to businesses of all sizes, not just the ones in Silicon Valley.
Retailers are using AI to automate product descriptions and restock planning. Accountants and consultants are using AI to summarize reports, proposals and client updates faster. Manufacturers are using AI to speed up documentation and safety reporting. Even service-based businesses are streamlining customer communications, scheduling and marketing with AI tools.
This isn’t theory. It’s happening right here in Berks County and beyond and across a multitude of industries large and small.

BUILT TO RESTORE ORDER
Putting AI to Work: A Practical Tool for Everyday Business
The smartest businesses are shifting their thinking. They’re not asking, “Should I use AI?” They’re asking, “How can AI help me do what we are doing?”
They’re approaching AI the same way they once approached email, websites and even text messaging—seeing it as a practical tool that fits into real workflows and helps solve real business problems.
Imagine being able to draft proposals, reports and client communications in minutes. You can turn reviews or feedback into quick trend reports. AI makes it easy to create job postings, marketing copy or newsletters faster. It also saves inbox time with drafted replies, summaries and priority sorting. These tools aren’t futuristic—they’re already built into software like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Canva and QuickBooks.
So... What Are You Missing Out On?
When you’re not exploring AI, you might be spending extra time on manual tasks that could easily be automated, paying more in labor for work that could be streamlined, or missing valuable insights hidden in the data you’re already collecting but not fully analyzing.
And here’s the thing—it’s not about being behind the curve. It’s about recognizing opportunities that are already within reach. You don’t have to overhaul your business to benefit. You just need to start where it makes sense for you.
How to Tell It’s Not Just a Trend
If you’re wondering whether AI is worth your time, ask yourself: Are businesses like mine already using it? Is it solving real-world problems? (Yes—it saves time, cuts costs and handles repetitive tasks so you can focus on what makes you money.) Can I stay in control of how I use it? (Absolutely. You decide where it fits and how it works.)
When the answers are yes, it’s not a passing trend, it’s a transformation. Like any tool, it only works if you pick it up and put it to use.
Final Thought
If you’re curious about where AI might fit into your world, now is a great time to start. You don’t need to have all the answers right away. You just need a willingness to explore. If this resonates with you, and you’re looking for a nopressure place to ask questions or brainstorm ideas, let’s chat. I’m here to help you find a starting point that feels right for your business—at your pace. I also help you create a safe environment which is very important to so many businesses. CQ

Changing Behaviors, Changing Lives: The Camel Project Builds Safer, Healthier Communities Through Education, Support Programs
By Pam Gockley, President & Executive Director, The Camel Project
Bullying, violence and isolation don’t just affect classrooms or workplaces; they ripple through entire communities. The Camel Project, based in Reading, is confronting these challenges head-on. As a trauma-informed non-profit, the organization focuses on addressing the root causes of harmful behavior through education and support systems. Serving both youth and adults, its work emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation and interpersonal growth.
Flagship Programs Creating Lasting Change
Of the organization’s programs, there are two that stand out as pivotal to its mission—one for adults and one for youth. For adults,
Certified Prevention Specialist Training (CPS) and BELLY Support are valuable resources in the workplace and beyond. These programs are centered around helping professionals recognize, prevent and interrupt trauma-based behaviors. These programs are essential for helping leaders lead with empathy, while also improving overall team dynamics and creating safer work environments.
On the other hand, the Lunch Intervention/Interruption Program (LIP) and Practice Inner Vision for Optimal Thinking (PIVOT) Program are essential for the youth of Reading. These programs, which are designed for middle and high school students, equip youth with tools for self-regulation, de-escalation and positive decision-making. Additionally, they directly address the critical connections between bullying, suicide and school violence.
How the Community Can Get Involved
The Greater Reading community plays an essential role in advancing The Camel Project’s mission. Through volunteering, inviting their teams to trainings, becoming trainers themselves or sponsoring youth events like Chalkpalooza, there is a lot the community can do.
Take this year’s Chalkpalooza event as a sign. Several companies, all in different industries, have contributed to The Camel Project to help advance its mission. It is that type of dedication and support that keeps the mission alive.
By supporting these efforts, the community helps create traumainformed schools, workplaces and neighborhoods. As The Camel Project emphasizes, when adults model healthy, respectful behavior, youth follow. That’s how lasting change takes root.

G R E AT ER R E A D I N G Chamber Alliance
GREATER TOGETHER
Here’s a taste of what the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA) has been working on in the past couple of months and what’s to come!
Advocacy
GRCA continues to actively advocate for the region’s business community. Last quarter, GRCA hosted a regional tariff webinar featuring Isabelle Icso from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who provided valuable insight into how shifting trade policies and potential tariffs could impact manufacturers, supply chains and overall competitiveness in South Central Pennsylvania. GRCA also joined the South Central PA Regional Chambers for a trip to Washington, D.C., where we met with federal officials to emphasize the importance of continued investment in economic development across our region. As part of this effort, we met with the Federal Railroad Administration to advocate for the Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority (SRPRA) and strongly support the restoration of passenger rail service between Reading and Philadelphia, a project that would expand connectivity, attract investment and create new opportunities for businesses and residents alike. In addition, GRCA remains dedicated to closely monitoring the ongoing state budget impasse in Harrisburg to assess its impact on our members and to ensure that the interests of the Greater Reading business community are represented as decisions unfold.
Economic Development
GRCA’s economic development team is driving long-term growth in Berks County by connecting businesses to capital, advancing redevelopment opportunities and providing data-driven insights to guide community priorities. Explore the latest Economic Intelligence reports on the GRCA website.
Events
Summer ended with a bang at our Annual Picnic—connecting hundreds of people through music, games, food and drink. Read more and see photos from the event on page 14.
Our Breakfast4Success kicked off our Fall season with Mike Duff Unfiltered, where Duff shared his legacy-building community
in Greater Reading. Next was our highly anticipated Evening of Empowerment with Katie Sandoe, where she talked about boundaries, self-care and finding your spark. Family Business Alliance’s (FBA) all new event format included a volunteer opportunity at Helping Harvest followed by a backstage tour of GoggleWorks Center for the Arts and time to socialize.
As we look to November, we are of course thinking about Go Taste Berks—reimagined this year in digital format! Shopping small is more than just buying a couple of things on Small Business Saturday; we want you to be shopping small all November long. So why not get some freebies and discounts on your way? If you haven’t already, snag your digital passport and start shopping!
Look out for all our upcoming events on greaterreading.org/ events—from networking to small business programming and some truly fantastic events coming up in our Special Programs.
Special Programs: Women2Women & Family Business Alliance
GRCA’s Special Programs continue to provide powerful opportunities for connection, growth and leadership development across Berks County.
This fall, Women2Women (W2W) is building on an exciting summer of impact and engagement. In August, W2W hosted a Lean In Circle information session, and in September, we brought together women from across the region for a Regional Business Women’s Networking Mixer at the stunning Reading Public Museum. The event welcomed partners from the Lancaster Chamber’s Women in Business, York County Economic Alliance’s Women’s Business Center Organization and Harrisburg Regional Chamber’s Business Women, broadening our reach and building stronger cross-county connections.
Meanwhile, the Family Business Alliance (FBA) continues to deliver timely and relevant programming designed to help familyowned businesses thrive across generations. After an insightful summer program with RKL on succession planning, FBA held a unique fall event in partnership with Dolan Construction. This program blended purpose and connection, offering volunteer opportunities with Helping Harvest, guided tours of the revitalized historic GoggleWorks space and a networking social to close the
day. In December, FBA will round out the year with a forwardlooking session featuring experts on legal considerations, longterm compensation strategies and the people side of succession planning, equipping businesses with the tools they need to confidently prepare for the future.
Together, Women2Women and the Family Business Alliance continue to strengthen our business community by creating spaces where women and family business leaders can connect, learn and grow.

MAIN STREET PROGRAMS
BOYERTOWN Shopping Small has Big Impact
By Ellen Martignetti, Main Street Manager, Building a Better Boyertown
As the holiday shopping season rapidly approaches, what does it really mean to “shop small” or “support local”? Shopping today is often as simple as clicking “add to cart” on your phone or computer. But choosing to shop small means rethinking how and where you spend your money.
When you shop locally, more of your money stays in your community. Local businesses hire local workers, pay local taxes and often source goods and services nearby. Every dollar spent at a small business circulates through your town—supporting schools, infrastructure and other local needs. In contrast, money spent at big box stores or online giants often leaves the community immediately.
Beyond economics, shopping locally helps preserve the unique character of your town. Independent shops, cafés and artisans bring personality and diversity to a community in a way chains simply cannot. Supporting them means investing in the culture and vitality of where you live.
The next time you’re tempted by the quick click of online shopping, stop and ask yourself: “Can I buy this from someone right here in my community?” Choosing local might take a little more effort, but the impact is far greater. Your dollars will stay, circulate and strengthen the place you call home. Shopping local isn’t just about keeping businesses alive—it’s about keeping communities alive.
Downtown Boyertown has several unique shops, restaurants and experiences
for everyone on your gift-giving list. Visit us this holiday season whether you are feeding your hunger for shopping or visiting Santa Claus at Chillin’ on Main. For additional
information on what’s in town visit Building a Better Boyertown’s website for the business directory and calendar of events at Buildingabetterboyertown.org. CQ
HAMBURG Celebrate the Season in Hamburg
By Lynn Weller, Executive Director, Our Town Foundation
As the holidays approach, Hamburg continues to shine as a growing community where tradition meets progress. The town’s energy is unmistakable thanks to the dedication of Our Town Foundation, local business owners and residents who work together to make Hamburg a place people love to visit, shop and call home.
With Hamburg now officially a PA Main Street Matters designated Main Street Program, the town is entering an exciting new chapter of revitalization. This initiative brings fresh opportunities for community events, business growth and downtown improvements. Every event and every small purchase plays a role in that momentum, making the holiday season the perfect time to support and celebrate all that’s happening in town.
One of the best times to show your support is on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29, a day to show your love for local shops, boutiques and restaurants. Now more than ever, your dollars make a difference to small, local businesses. Shopping small means investing directly in the community, helping sustain the very businesses that keep Hamburg unique. Downtown Hamburg offers a variety of charming spots where shoppers can find handcrafted gifts, local art, delicious
treats and gifts with character. Every purchase helps keep storefronts open, lights on and Hamburg’s Main Street lively all season long.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., join Our Town Foundation’s first-ever Christmas in the Square! State Street Square at 222 State St., Hamburg, will come alive with holiday music, Santa visits and festive activities for all ages. This new tradition is designed to bring families together to make memories and enjoy the warmth of the season in the heart of town. After stopping at the Square, spend the day shopping in town for the full family experience. Then head over to the Hamburg Strand Theatre at 1 p.m. for a free family Christmas movie, a perfect way to unwind and celebrate the holidays. The Strand, freshly renovated with new seats and flooring, is once again a centerpiece of community life and family entertainment. Check out hamburgstrand.org for the full lineup of holiday movie showings and events.
This holiday season come to Hamburg to shop, dine and celebrate. Take in the lights, share a cup of cocoa and remember, when you support small businesses, you’re helping build a stronger, brighter town. Make memories, give back and enjoy the magic of the holidays right here in Hamburg. CQ
WEST READING It’s Fall on the Avenue, Y’all
By Nick Price, Main Street Executive Director, West Reading Community Revitalization Foundation
As the nights get longer and the mornings get colder, the Avenue begins to heat up. As we head into the fall season, we begin to see the trees on the Avenue slowly change colors, creating a postcard-like setting. Enjoy shopping as the sun sets on our new Local Love night. Every third Thursday through November, we have over 20 retailers on all four blocks of our business district staying open until 8 p.m. for shoppers. Take in the sights, as many businesses will be decorating their storefronts for fall, as well as, our new 14 large planters on the Avenue being decorated in a fall theme. With plenty of outside dining, enjoy lunch with friends on a beautiful fall afternoon taking in the scenery.
As we head into winter, the fun continues on the Avenue with many of our restaurants offering winter seasonal menus and live music. Join us Saturday, Nov. 29 for Small Business Saturday, supporting local business who are offering giveaways to participants. If you really like the cold, then mark your calendars for the Ice and Spice Festival at the end of January. With more than 20 businesses participating, enjoy live ice carving, music and activities for all. Whether it’s a quiet morning, or a hopping Saturday night you’re looking for, West Reading has it all. CQ
