| What is the Elm Street Program? |
|
The Elm Street Program is intended to strengthen older historic neighborhoods that characterize many of the
Commonwealth's communities. The Elm Street Approach is intended to operate in parallel cooperation with existing
downtown or commercial corridor revitalization programs, including the Pennsylvania Main Street program. Through
this cooperative approach, the connections between healthier neighborhoods and revitalized business districts can
be strengthened. To visit the Pennsylvania Downtown Center's Elm Street Page click this link:

| CHAMBERSBURG ELM STREET NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN |
| The Borough of Chambersburg received a planning grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) to prepare this plan required to address five key areas referred to as sustainable organization; clean, safe and green; neighbors and economy; design; and image and identity. DCED has turned to the Pennsylvania Downtown Center (PDC) to perform assessment responsibilities and provide training and technical assistance to Elm Street communities across the Commonwealth. The Elm Street Program is designed similar to the Main Street Program. This plan represents a neighborhood-based, long-range vision for the revitalization of the Chambersburg Elm Street Neighborhood Area. This plan provides a blue-print for neighborhood revitalization emphasizing improvement of the condition of the neighborhood for all residents. This document was produced using the results of a collaborative planning process including input from residents, business owners, local elected officials, Borough staff, agency leadership and representatives of downtown. |
