[ Previous Page ] Building One Pennsylvania: A Statewide Summit on Regional Opportunity    10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 16, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, 750 E. King St., Lancaster Pennsylvania's manufacturing towns and older suburban communities were once thriving, diverse and attractive places. But for many decades, they have been victims of federal and state policies that have favored new suburban development at the expense of older communities. Our aging communities are now experiencing crumbling infrastructure, abandoned Main Streets, job losses, struggling schools and excessive tax burdens while newer communities are at risk for unbalanced growth. This summit will give visibility during this election year to the common challenges faced by our communities and to launch an organizing structure for advancing the state and federal policy agenda that will revitalize and strengthen Pennsylvania. The event will feature national experts on regional equity, land use and municipal and school governance. Organizations convening the summit include 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania, Good Schools Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Council of Churches, Southeastern Pennsylvania First Suburbs Project and  YorkCounts.
