The state Department of Community and Economic Development has approved more than $5 million in revitalization projects, including two in the Mon Valley.
The DCED’s Keystone Communities program is designed to support local initiatives that grow and stabilize neighborhoods and communities, foster effective public-private partnerships and enhance the overall quality of life.
The Mon Valley Initiative will receive $500,000 for the rehabilitation and construction of a mixed-use project at the intersection of Miller and St. Clair avenues in Clairton.
The National Road Heritage Corridor will receive $115,000 to identify, design and plan projects in collaboration with the City of Monongahela.
The work will create an attractive gateway and pedestrian-friendly walkway to the Monongahela River, including installation of ADA accessible curbing and sidewalks, new light posts and trees, signage and public art for the arch at intersection of Second and Railroad streets.
