lobbying efforts to be too successful this year,
but has high hopes for the next few years.
"We are establishing the mechanisms with
which to fight even harder in the next few
years," she said. "Next year, student interest
will be a lot higher when we'll actually be
able to see the missing dollars, and we expect
to be a lot more successful."
Raphael said the GRC urges students to get
involved by writing letters to legislators
stating they are University students and
expressing their concern about the reduction
in aid.
"It's a painless task students can just
write to their legislators and state their
feelings about cutting student aid," she said,
adding students can also telephone legis
lators but writing is more effective.
Boyd said when cuts get larger in the
future, the reductions could affect enrollment
in colleges and universities.
"There's no way to measure right now if
the 4.3 percent (cuts) will affect enrollment.
It could have an impact on certain students
in a very narrow band not being able to
attend school," he said.
At the present time those involved
in the project are owners of business
es, members of Historic Bellefonte
Inc., government, civic, organiza
tions, and the community at large, he
said.
Through promotion, Bellefonte
wishes to become an attractive place
for shoppers and businesses to locate,
Clark said.
"Our goal is an economically viable
downtown area and we're playing off
Bellefonte's historical heritage," said
Clark.
In order to solicit interest in the
design aspect of the project, financial
incentives will be offered when the
project enters its second year in
June, he said.
"A Design Challenge Grant of $l,-
000 will be offered on a first-come,
first- serve basis for the design of
store fronts. If it costs a store owner
$l,OOO to fix up his store front we will
match up to half of that with $500,"
Clark said. He said persons are
awarded funding based on the de
signs proposed.
Another financial incentive to get
business owners to renovate their
store fronts is to establish low inter
est rates for loans. "We want to
involve the local banking community
and have them offer attractive inter
est rates through The Main Street
Project," he said.
The final point of the approach is
economic restructuring. This is ag
gressively recruiting new businesses
to expand where there is a needed
service or product in the commercial
district, Clark said.
A town meeting will be held tomor
row at the Centre County Courthouse
concerning the project. A slide pre-
sentation will be shown and the four
points will be explained.
"The goal of the meeting is to make
people more aware and to ask them to
join us in our efforts," Clark said.
Although state funding for the pro
_
ject ends in three years, Clark said
they could continue the renovation
through community efforts.
