Upgrades and improvements include replac- ing sidewalks and curbs to make them more accessible to people with disabilities, plant- ing new trees and adding pedestrian lighting to the area. Downtown Tunkhannock is a National Register Historic Dis- trict. “Tunkhannock is a beautiful rural community which still maintains a feeling of the proverbial hometown which so many areas have lost,” County Commissioner and streetscape project committee member Judy Kraft Mead said. “This streetscape project of new side- walks and historic lights will enhance the charm that people are enjoying here.” The New Communities-Main Street program is aimed at im- proving Pennsylvania's down- town districts. The funds can be used to strengthen a local Main Street organization, initi- ate economic development ac- tivities and support eligible commercial related projects. For more information on the New Communities-Main Street program, visit the Department of Community and Economic Development web site at www.inventpa.com.
