The tour swung by the Kevin Powers Accessible Playground, the Slope Amphitheater, and the site of the Market and Main/New American Theater Project which will soon begin construction.
"Just neat to see the Mayor's vision, the city team's vision come to life here, this is really why I wanted to come, to learn, to highlight Governor Shapiros main street matters program," Siger explained.
The governor secured $20,000,000 in his bipartisan 2024/2025 budget to create the Main Street Matters Program.
