Rebuilding Neighborhoods From The Ground Up

10 August 2005 - 6:00am

Pennsylvania's new BluePrint Communities program gives community groups the resources to manage redevelopment.

In a partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania "will provide technical assistance, financial training, planning support and grants for community groups to develop a network of residential businesses and social services." Three Philadelphia-area neighborhoods, Tioga and Norris Square in the city and East Lindon in Chester County, have been selected to participate.
