expanded capabilities, expanded geographies, expanded opportunities and a combined strength that will be very positive for
our Central Pennsylvania clients.”

valuable service organization, block can now offer a greatly enhanced range of services and solutions,” added Simone. “We
are very much looking forward to working with their clients to maximize these combined capabilities to improve
productivity and reduce costs for block clients.”
