  • Greater Reading: a Call to Action
    GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

Volume 22 - 2014. Paper 15. http://preserve.lehigh.edu/cas-lehighreview-vol-22/15 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Lehigh Review at Lehigh Preserve.

DISSOCIATIVE In 1943, Bethlehem Steel, then the second largest steel manufacturer in the United States, employed a record 283,735 workers. IDENTITY By 1945, the company held net assets of $880 million and had revenues of $1.1 billion. The industrial giant unified the BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA small, incredibly diverse City of Bethlehem under one roof, one cause and one AFTER BIG STEEL extremely proud identity. But in 2001, “the Steel” went bankrupt, and the blast furnaces that once roared and blazed all Evan Orf day and night went cold. Today, the city is in a state of urban renewal in attempts to reclaim a sense of unified identity in the wake of Bethlehem Steel’s collapse. Though the blast furnaces still stand, the urban renewal project, called Southside Vision 2014, is steering Bethlehem in too many different directions at the same time, giving the city a sort of dissociative identity. This essay charts both of these stories — the rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel, and the renewal of the city post-steel — and the links between them.

  • Hunt Armory 324 Emerson Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15206
    Hunt Armory 324 Emerson Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15206 Officers of the Historic Review Commission: Please accept this nomination to grant historic designation to the Hunt Armory structure located in Shadyside at 324 Emerson Street, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206. The Hunt Armory building is 102 years old and has been consistently occupied by the 28th Infantry Division since 1916. The building exemplifies the renaissance revival style characteristic of armories and other military buildings of its period, and both the building and the military units inside it are directly relevant to the rich cultural heritage of Western Pennsylvania and the United States. Shadyside and the Pennsylvania National Guard have both undergone many changes over the last century, but the Hunt Armory has always stood as a local landmark. The Armory is already listed on the National Register of Historic Places. However, due to the upcoming potential of more statewide armory sales, both residents in the Shadyside community and the preservation and museum community of Pittsburgh feel that local historic status should be placed upon the Armory in order to recognize and protect its historic façade and commemorative plaques dedicated to the lives of soldiers killed in combat. Consequently, the Office of Senator Jim Ferlo collaborated with the Roy A. Hunt Foundation and a retired member of the Pennsylvania National Guard to gather support and submit this application for historic status of the building. By approving it, you honor not only the building but also the lives and labors of the Pennsylvania National Guard over the past 102 years. Thank you for your consideration.

  • AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025
    Reading Downtown Improvement District AMENDED PRELIMINARY PLAN January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025 I. INTRODUCTION The Reading Downtown Improvement District (DID) was created in 1995 in response to property owner, employee and business owner requests for a cleaner, safer downtown Reading. For twenty-five years the Reading DID has provided services above and beyond what would have been provided by the City of Reading. Through a special assessment, levied upon all commercial properties within the District, downtown Reading is a cleaner, safer and more inviting place to live, work and visit. This year, assessed property owners will consider whether the Reading DID should continue for another five- year term. This document is the Preliminary Plan for the DID and outlines its accomplishments, proposed changes and required renewal procedures. In advance of seeking re-authorization, the Reading Downtown Improvement District Authority (RDIDA), with funding from the Berks Alliance, engaged in a strategic planning process to re-examine the organization’s programs, budget, and structure with the goal of increasing the DID’s value proposition to ratepayers and other downtown stakeholders. An Executive Summary of this strategic plan is included as an attachment to the Preliminary Plan A link to the Executive Summary and Strategic Plan is included in this document. In summary, the Strategic Plan offer the following pivots to enhance the DID’s value proposition: • Excel in Core Services. The RDIDA will implement program changes to deliver consistent, high-quality clean, safe and green services throughout the District. • Expand Scope of Services. Compared to DIDs nationally, the Reading DID has a relatively narrow scope of services.
