Redbank Renaissance, Inc.
is a group of area citizens who have incorporated to
revitalize New Bethlehem and the Redbank Valley area by
utilizing its assets. Our members include business
owners, borough council members, bankers, the school
superintendent and teachers, nurses, doctors, ministers,
retired folks and others who are concerned about the
Redbank Valley. Our organizational structure follows the
trademarked Main Street program structure that was
developed by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation to address revitalization needs with a
comprehensive, long-term approach.
The
four committees and a brief outline of their
responsibilities are:
Design – Downtown
streetscape, buildings, infrastructure and appearance,
sign and façade grants.
Promotion – Marketing, events and promotion
of area image,
community calendar, church directory.
Economic Restructuring – Assistance for
existing businesses and recruitment of new businesses.
Organization –
Legal, financial and reporting requirements, fundraising
and volunteer recruitment and training.
The program has been successful in over 1900 other
communities around the country, including Brookville,
Ridgway, Lock Haven and Warren among others. See the
National Trust’s Main Street Center for more
information:
http://www.mainstreet.org. Our goal is to follow
this model to bring new life to the Redbank Valley for
sustained economic health and the benefit of its
residents.
