  • 2013 River Towns Report
    When the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) first launched the River Town Program in 2010, its goal was to help communities to recognize the river as an asset around which potential community and economic development could background occur, and thus be recognized as a resource worthy of protection. For PEC, this program has evolved into a model for PEC originally launched the River Town Program along the Allegheny River just north of Pittsburgh as a pilot to apply implementing collaborative solutions to environmental protection and restoration, by recognizing the inextricable links the strategies used successfully in previous asset-based community development initiatives in river towns. Models between the environment, the economy and quality of life. included the trail town initiatives along the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath, traditional Main Street Programs and others. This report describes the River Town process and highlights the successes of many of the communities who have participated in the program. The successes described are the work of many partners and the credit for all achievements “River Towns,” the communities bordering rivers throughout Pennsylvania, were founded as manufacturing centers belongs to the communities themselves. close to river and rail transportation. With the decline of manufacturing, these communities suffered both job loss and population decline as generations that once prospered working in industries next to the river were forced to leave to find jobs elsewhere. The River Town model seeks to improve the vitality, stability, sustainability and prosperity of communities, businesses and neighborhoods. This is the foundation upon which related economic development, including recreational tourism and environmental initiatives, such as stormwater management, trail development and clean energy projects are built.

  • 2018-02-27 John C. Oliver
    2018-02-27 JOHN C. OLIVER Eric Lidji: Today is February 26, 2018. I’m Eric Lidji with Linda Boxx and we are interviewing John Oliver at his office, downtown. One of the first things that we’ve talked to people about is trying to get a sense of their interest in the outdoors generally because it does seem like a lot of people came to this project with a love of the outdoors. So, I was wondering if you could start by talking just a little bit about, maybe, your childhood in terms of hunting, fishing, being outdoors, biking, any of those sorts of things. John C. Oliver: Well, I’ve been an outdoors person as long as I can remember. Both my parents were and- so in all aspects of the outdoors, that’s my passion, whether it’s hunting, fishing, or camping, or canoeing, or, in the old days, white water rafting. It’s what I enjoy most of all in life. Eric Lidji: Did you enjoy on this side of the state? John C. Oliver: Yes, I grew up about 15 miles north of here. I went away to school – college – and the service, but other than that, I’ve been here. Eric Lidji: So, is that how you ended up at the Conservancy? John C. Oliver: Yeah. In 1970, I heard about the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and through some friends, I was able to get a job. There was a new president came on board, Josh Wetzel, who was a good friend of Linda’s and mine.
