Community Revitalization Desktop Guide - (Page 2) Dear Local Leaders, One of the hardest jobs in the world is running a city or town – whether as mayor, a city councilperson, borough manager or township supervisor. Every day you must meet constituent needs, provide basic services, maintain aging infrastructure and, on top of that, find the resources to attract new investment and growth to reinvigorate your community. Amazingly, many of you do this as a part-time job. My hat is off to each of you. When I took office in 2003, and as part of my “Plan for a New Pennsylvania,” I created the Community Action Team, or CAT, to work with Pennsylvania’s smaller cities and towns to help attract private investment for high-impact redevelopment projects. The CAT Team’s job is to actively engage local communities and help create publicprivate partnerships to affect older community revitalization. Every Pennsylvania community is different. No two places have identical challenges or solutions. But, we know certain things that can be helpful to all of Pennsylvania’s older communities. Experience has taught us that public money alone cannot turn around a community. Private investment is essential to creating new jobs, housing and opportunities in older communities. We also know that a single development does not turn around a town or city that has lost major employers and has seen little investment for decades. Revitalization is multi-layered and complex. Multiple coordinated high impact projects must be put in place to reinvigorate local economies and create new reasons to live, work and visit our older communities. We want to help Pennsylvania’s cities and boroughs to do that. A spirit of revival is sweeping the Commonwealth. Challenging and exciting opportunities exist for every one of Pennsylvania’s older communities. Together we can make every Pennsylvania community strong and competitive in the 21st Century. Edward G. Rendell, Governor 2
