Revitalization




Sunbury is moving forward with a renewed focus on thoughtful growth, community connection, and long-term revitalization.

As one of ten Pennsylvania communities selected to participate in Blueprint Communities®, Sunbury is part of a place-based revitalization initiative created by FHLBank Pittsburgh and administered by Pennsylvania Downtown Center. Through this program, local leaders receive training, tools, and resources to help create a stronger, more sustainable, and more vibrant community.

The Blueprint Communities initiative helps communities establish a shared vision, strengthen local leadership, encourage collaboration, and attract public and private investment to support meaningful progress.

In Downtown Sunbury, this work is focused on building a comprehensive revitalization strategy that enhances quality of life for residents, supports local assets, engages the community, improves housing opportunities, and helps attract new businesses, jobs, and investment.

Follow along for updates, project stories, and progress as Sunbury works together to build a stronger future.
