HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHP) \u2014 Pennsylvania leaders plan to announce their new plan to help revitalize downtown Harrisburg on Monday. <\/p>\n
City leaders are pushing to strengthen downtown as a “economic, cultural and residential hub,” according to the Capital Region Economic Development Corporation (CREDC).<\/a><\/p>\n There have been efforts in the past to improve quality of life and tourism in the area, but local leaders say they have more support \u2014 and grant money \u2014 than before.<\/p>\n “We have a good group of stakeholders involved. It’s a large group. I haven’t, in the past, seen a stakeholder group this size,” Harrisburg business administrator Antonio Megna said in April. “On top of that, we have buy-in from the city side. We have buy-in from the county. We have a buy-in from state. And then right now we have buy-ins from a lot of the businesses and a lot of the residents right now.”<\/p>\n READ MORE | $400K pledged to plan revitalization of downtown Harrisburg: How will the money be used?<\/a><\/p>\n Over the past few months, the CREDC and Harrisburg Regional Chamber have interviewed stakeholders, surveyed locals and held workshops and focus groups<\/a> to understand the community’s concerns and refine their strategy.<\/p>\n
