About Us
Louis J. Appell, Jr. cared deeply for the City of York and about its ongoing vibrancy. Mr. Appell wanted to ensure that York could continue to grow and that the Foundation could always be part of that growth.
The Powder Mill Foundation, established by Mr. Appell along with his wife Josephine in 1993, supports effective collaboration between community partners and local government to produce vital and authentic urban places that are attractive to residents and businesses.
