Are you interested in improving Downtown Coraopolis? How about more public access to the Ohio River? Helping to restore the Historic Train Station?
The Borough of Coraopolis along with its community partners: the Borough of Midland, the City of Aliquippa; the Borough of Monaca; and the Ohio River Trail Council (ORTC) have joined together to undertake a grass-roots effort to re-think the future of our communities as a way to respond to the changes in our manufacturing/industrial base and the post-industrial brownfields legacy that remains. The four communities combined received a $150,000 federal grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); to developed area-wide revitalization plans, primarily focused on redeveloping vacant or under-utilized properties and to identify infrastructure improvements needed to stimulate revitalization. This effort is partly an outcome of the ORTC’s initiative to provide increased access to and along the river corridor and the revitalization of the numerous blighted parcels, many of which are perceived brownfields.
The first public open house/meeting in Coraopolis is scheduled for:
Wednesday October 12th, 2011 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
The Coraopolis Community Development Foundation located at 1000 5th Avenue.
Please stop by and review initial findings and contribute your ideas!
