Currently, Mr. Lonergan oversees the operations of the organization with the goal of being the lead entity for economic development projects in Bucks County. In 2023 alone, the authority under Mr. Lonergan’s leadership made $2.1 million in loans to small businesses in Bucks County, facilitated a $10 million tax-exempt financing property acquisition transaction, and managed a $500,000 investment into locally based startup businesses. Mr. Lonergan was also recently named to the prestigious Philadelphia Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list this past May. Aside from his day job, Mr. Lonergan is also very active in his local community, serving as a high school girls basketball coach, as well as being on the Vice President of the Board of Directors for the Central Bucks School District Education Foundation and a Trustee for the Bristol Riverside Theatre.
