Place-Based Community Development

Place-Based Community Development

Making welcoming spaces that bring people together.

A healthy downtown is more than its buildings — it’s the shared spaces, daily experiences, and sense of belonging that bring people together. Through community-driven placemaking, the Meadville Community Revitalization Corporation is working to enhance our streets and sidewalks, strengthen quality of life, and inspire pride in place. These efforts ensure downtown Meadville is not only welcoming and accessible, but also a true reflection of the people who live, work, and invest here.

By enhancing streetscapes, sidewalks, and lighting through creative placemaking, placekeeping and public art the MCRC will collaborate with community stakeholders to improve the quality of life for residents, make downtown more attractive and accessible, and encourage pride of place.

Through collaboration with residents, local businesses, educational institutions and community agencies the MCRC will help position downtown Meadville as a desirable place to work and live.

As a result of cumulative and successful revitalization the MCRC will encourage further investment and participation in the community, strengthening community pride.
