Twelve (12) communities have gone through the process and seen: ● New volunteers and leaders emerge ● Updates to zoning ordinances ● Valuable community feedback for comprehensive and local community plans ● New businesses emerge ● Town beautification efforts launched (facades, updates to parks, community clean ups) ….and so much more. Learn about how PA Heart & Soul can help spark community into planning and development efforts – and how to bring the process to your community! PA Heart & Soul Information Session is to learn more about Community Heart & Soul, please join for a webinar presented by the PA Humanities to discuss the benefits of this program and how interested communities can start the applications process.
