The Community Revitalization Academy (CRA) is a series of five workshops designed to provide first-year Main Street managers, Elm Street managers, and other interested revitalization professionals with intermediate-level instruction based on the Main Street Approach of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Main Street Program and the Five-Point Approach of the Pennsylvania Elm Street Program. While these two programs have slight variations in the nomenclature and certain program activities, there is a high degree of consistency in the training required to effectively and efficiently implement these programs. Please email billarrowood@padowntown.org if you would like more information on the CRAs and emmahudson@padowntown.org if you have an issue with registration/attendance. We hope to see you there.
The May CRA will focus on Safe Clean & Green: The foundation for any revitalization effort is ‘Safe, Clean & Green.’ Block watch concepts, crime prevention and clean up programs are all explored. Creative ways to implement an environmentally friendly philosophy in your community is also explored in depth.
Graduates of Cohort 1 & 2 will attend the May CRA and be recognized during the Townie Awards Ceremony on May 28, 2025 at Bedford Springs.
