Secretary Michael Bonchack William MacMath William H. Weaver, I11 NITTANY VALLEY JOINT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING INITIATIVE Under the guidance of Attorney Ben Novak, seven Centre County Municipalities joined together in 1988 with the goal of updating their Comprehensive Plans and Zoning Ordinances. They were: J Bellefonte Borough J Benner Township J Centre Hall Borough J Marion Township J Port Matilda Borough J Spring Township J Walker Township Huston Township was originally part of the group, but subsequent- ly resigned and was replaced by Port Matilda Borough. Nittany Valley was selected as a common name for the group as five municipalities, Bellefonte Borough plus the four Townships, lie in the Nittany Valley between Nittany and Bald Eagle Moun- tains. These five communities also comprise the Bellefonte Area School District and have formally been designated the Nittany Valley Subregion by the Centre County Planning Commission. Centre Hall Borough, just over Mount Nittany in Penns Valley, and Port Matilda Borough just over Bald Eagle Mountain in the Bald Eagle Creek Valley have similar problems and concerns, and thus opted to join the group. The primary motivations behind this effort were the recognition and acknowledgement that: 0 All of the participating municipalities either did not have or had outdated plans and ordinances, @ By participating together, the region's problems could be faced squarely with less chance for duplication of effort or misunderstanding, 0 By participating together, a common format for codes and ordinances could be achieved, and 0 By proceeding concurrently with common consultants, lower costs could be realized. The joint venture has been an unqualified success. First a grant was received from the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs to help defray a portion of the costs; a grant that otherwise might not have been received had the joint effort not been made. Secondly, a number of decisions were made on a joint basis that were best both for the region and for the individual municipalities; decisions that might not otherwise have been made. And thirdly, by presenting a united front it is hoped to better gain the attention of both State and County Agencies re- garding funding for needed projects. The group plans to continue joint efforts in the future. - iv - CONTENTS Spring Township Officials ................................ iii Contents ................................................... v Resolution ................................................ ix Background Reports 1 .

  • Chapter Title
    Centre County Demographics and Travel Patterns The purpose of this chapter is to describe Centre County in terms of demographics, major and minor trip generators, planning and zoning, and travel patterns. This information, when considered relative to the inventory of available transportation modes in Centre County, helps to identify specific areas that present the greatest need for transportation improvements. The large land area of Centre County (almost 1,100 square miles), and the County’s mountain ridges and valleys impact the physical layout of transportation infrastructure. Demographic indicators must also be considered within the context of these geographic attributes. Within this chapter, socioeconomic data at the census tract level from the 2010 US Census, 2009-13 American Community Survey (ACS), and the information from Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) is presented relative to the following categories: • Population and Density • Vehicle Availability • Income and Poverty • Labor Force and Unemployment • Public Assistance and SSI Income • Educational Attainment • Distribution of Jobs • Distribution of Age 65 and Older Population and Social Security Income • Distribution of Disabled Population • Housing Figure 2, which is a map of census tracts within Centre County, is presented on the following page.

  • Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District
    Lock Haven PA Water Street Historic District The Water Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Portions of the text below were adapted from a copy of the original nomination document. [ †] The lands between the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and the Bald Eagle Creek being especially desirable, due to their fertility and location, attracted those seeking frontier homes, and by 1800 there developed quite a prosperous settlement on the site of the present Lock Haven. Commercial lumbering was started about the time of the completion of the canal (1834). This industry grew in importance throughout the rest of the century. Most of the historic structures in this district remain on their original sites and are well-preserved. The most significant buildings are: The L. A. Mackey House, 1854, is a Federal-Tuscan Transitional, two-story, Flemish bond brick dwelling with the main section measuring 44.5' by 39.5'. The symmetric facade has five windows across the front, a bracketed cornice with dentils (which is carried along the sides of the building), a decorated frieze with five oblong windows, and a deeply recessed entrance with circular paneled door flanked by side lights and topped by a large rectangular space filled with a semi-circular window. This front entrance is framed with a hood supported by heavy brackets and topped with a balustraded balcony. There are twin chimneys in both gable ends of the main section of this building which is close to original and in excellent condition. The David Carskaddon Homestead, 1858, is an Italian Villa style, two-story dwelling, brick with stucco finish and constructed in the form of a Y.

    Bald Eagle State Park Native Plant and Early-Successional Stage Habitat Restoration Project Cooperating Agencies: Bald Eagle State Park Native Plant and Early-Successional Stage Habitat Restoration Project Prepared by: Joel Rosak U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 315 S. Allen Street State College, PA 16801 With assistance from: William Palmer - Pennsylvania Game Commission Jim Barr and Steve Volgstadt - Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Mark Banker - Ruffed Grouse Society Dave Putnam, Kelly Williams, Shawna Barry, Adam Smith – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2 Bald Eagle State Park Bald Eagle State Park lies in the Bald Eagle Valley in Centre County, Pennsylvania. The Park, as well as the valley, creek, and mountain in this area were named after Chief Bald Eagle (Chief Woapalanne in his native tongue), a well-known chief of the Lenni Lenape Nation. He and his tribe inhabited the areas near Milesburg during the mid 1700’s (Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources 2002). Bald Eagle State Park lies on 5,900 acres developed adjacent to the Foster Joseph Sayers Dam. On July 4, 1971, the Bureau of State Parks signed a forty-year lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E) for the use of the 5,900 acres. Since 1971, the Bureau of State Parks has been solely responsible for the capital development of the land (Pennsylvania Game Commission 1998). Parts of the 5,900 acres, located on both the north and south sides of the lake, are leased to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Bald Eagle State Park offers a wide selection of recreational opportunities such as picnicking, camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing, ice fishing, ice skating, cross country skiing, sled riding, and tobogganing.

  • The Central Pennsylvania Conference (EV) 1850-1871 Compiled from the Conference Archives
    The Central Pennsylvania Conference (EV) 1850-1871 compiled from the Conference Archives I. Annual Conference Records Because of denominational unions and boundary adjustments, the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church includes congregations with roots in more than a dozen distinct predecessor conferences. In order to service its constituency, the Conference Archives seeks to acquire and maintain as complete a collection as possible of the journals of these various conferences. Congregations with roots in one of the three primary Methodist Episcopal, United Brethren or Evangelical Association conferences that served central Pennsyl- vania have access to virtually complete conference records and statistics. Even in these instances, however, conference journals can be incomplete. Early journals of all the predecessor denominations list only charge statistics. While they clearly identify the pastor assigned to each charge, they do not provide information about individual churches -- nor do they even identify which churches are on which charges. Hidden within the minutes, however, are specific reports that provide valuable primary source information at the congregational level. Missionary Reports : When conferences began printing their journals, they tried to contain expenses by producing a product that many people would be willing to purchase. Including a detailed report of missionary giving proved to be the key, for people like to see their name in print -- especially when connected with noble causes. Accordingly, many conferences listed the people at each appointment on each charge who contributed to missions -- and often listed the amounts of the individual contributions. These reports not only identify what churches were on what charges, but they also identify which families attended which churches.

  • Upper Bald Eagle Valley Region
    UPPER BALD EAGLE VALLEY REGION LABOR FORCE DATA Upper Bald Eagle Valley has a strong labor force. Unemployment rates are low for most of the munici- palities. Education levels for High School Graduates are higher than state and national levels, but per- centages of Bachelor’s Degrees or Higher are slightly lower in retrospect. The low mean travel times, high percentages of residents driving to work, and high number of people in the labor force suggest that this is a residential region where workers commute to outlying regions. This presumption is reinforced by the low unemployment rates.

  • A Year Ofgrowth
    A Year of Growth 2013 Annual Report Sharing the wealth. Shaping the future. 1 From the Executive Director’s Desk Dear Friends, Here at Centre Foundation, we are truly “Building for the Future” and 2013 was a year that embodied that vision. We welcomed growth and transformation in our staff, our funds, our board, and our community! In December, I was honored to be named Executive Director upon the retirement of Al Jones. Earlier, we welcomed a new staff member, Irene Miller, in August. Jodi Pringle ended her very successful two- year term as board chair and has passed the gavel on to Amos Goodall. To see a complete list of our current staff – including Carrie Ryan, our new Deputy Director that joined us in March of 2014 – and Molly Kunkel board members, please see page 31. Executive Director Our assets grew 17.9% due to a dynamic combination of increased donations to existing funds, generous estate gifts through our Campbell Society, an increase in new funds established, and very strong investment returns. The full 2013 Financial Report and corresponding infographics can be found beginning on page 28. The Foundation’s ongoing support of community organizations kept growing, totaling over $10.7 million! A complete list of gifts to our funds starts on page 9, while a list of our lifetime grants to organizations begins on page 21. Sharing the wealth. Shaping the future. Centre Gives, our new granting program, completed its second year in May of 2013 and raised over half a million dollars for the participating organizations. More details can be found on page 12.
