Salvatore and Diana Tresco American Dream Scholarship Fund
Over 40 years ago, Salvatore created Tresco Paving and has enjoyed a productive business, owned and operating in Westmoreland County, ever since. Tresco Paving is a PennDOT business partner, performing heavy and highway construction and supplying asphalt for major roadway projects through Allegheny, Westmoreland, Armstrong, and Indiana Counties as well as municipal work in the surrounding boroughs and townships. Salvatore and Diana care deeply about the Tresco employees and their families. Therefore, they created the Salvatore and Diana Tresco American Dream Scholarship Fund to assist their employees, children, and grandchildren in their journey to achieve the American Dream.
