Vandergrift is a designated Main Street Community

The VIP received confirmation from DCED that Vandergrift is now a designated Main Street community.

$50,000 from DCED in Year 2 funding will enable the VIP to continue their Main Street revitalization efforts with PHLF as their managing partner, and Shaun Yurcaba as the on-site coordinator.

$30,000 from DCED in Year 2 funding will also allow the VIP to facilitate the Facade Grant Program which makes grants available up to $5,000 per project. Business or property owners located in the Main Street district can apply for these facade grant funds.

$15,000 from local contributions will further enable the revitalization efforts of all four Committees: Organization, Promotion, Economic Restructuring, and Design.
