The Harrisburg PA East Uptown Revitalization Initiative - Black Phoenix Rising - And Introduction Rise, Uptown! Uptown Harrisburg PA in the Past, Present and Future

Hi, Beck Joyner here!

And welcome to my brand new endeavor, a podcast in which I will chronicling the process of community revitalization in a section of Harrisburg Pa that I refer to as East Uptown - so where is East Uptown and why have I chosen to give it this distinct designation?

Well, for starters, East Uptown I define as Maclay to Division Streets and from N 3rd to N 7th Streets.  And the reason is that this area is the most blighted and the most divested and neglected section of Uptown.  The name is intended to be an overlay designation and not a replacement for any existing community names.

And the specific reason for the distinction at all is that I am working on pulling together a coalition of residents, businesses, churches and non profits to apply for designation as a PA Elm Street community. In doing so, we can tap into several million dollars worth of grant funding for economic development; launching businesses, renovating housing, facade improvements and beautifying the streets.

Won't you join the movement?
