I PLANNING ..io A Continuous Process I It is apparent that Mary Fuller Frazier felt the true essence of democracy when she willed that the people of Perryopolis plan the improvement of their community. I Since the announcement in 1947 by the Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Company that Perryopolis was to receive more than one million and a half dollars for civic improve- ments, the people have flourished on town meetings, assemblies, and back yard con- I versations. This process of deliberation has been necessary in order that the people resolve ques- I tions in their own right and by their own efforts. The process has born fruits - for even with financial aid the people realize that the burden of improving the town is I their responsibility. While the pattern of community interest existed prior to the time the now world famed Cinderella Town was energized by the gift from Mary Fuller Frazier, the Perryopolis I Community Planning Association was organized in 1948 as an unofficial citizens plan- ning organization to represent communi ty-wide interests. I Taking first things first, the people, of what was then an unincorporated town in Perry Township, petitioned the Courts of Fayette County for the right to establish a borough form of government in accordance with the laws of Pennsylvania. The I Courts granted this petition in 1950 and the Borough Council consisted of seven members and a Burgess now administer local municipal affairs. The public school I system is administered by the School Board of Perry Township. Industrial development has been considered one of the first needs for the community along with the provision of decent, safe and sanitary housing. Opportunity was I afforded Perryopolis through the Pennsylvania Housing and Redevelopment Assistance Act of 1949 to construct a moderate rental housing project of 42 units. This project was completed in 1952 by the Fayette County Housing Authority, and has been fully I occupied with a waiting list of prospective tenants since that time. I I I 1 1 I The next move for over-all improvement was made by the Borough Council and the 'Trustees in 1954 with the installation of a street lighting system throughout the Borough. The annual cost of street lights is paid by the Trustees from the Frazier Account. In 1956, the construction of a comprehensive sewage collection system and treatment plant was undertaken with a grant af $335,000 from the Frarier inheritance. The Borough Council and a newly created Niunicipal Authority are now considering plans to finance additional features of an integrated system for water distribution, sewage collection, and treatment. Through the financial assistance of the Trustees and the State, the School Board now has under construction a million dollar school and civic center in memory of Mary Fuller Frazier. Currently, the citizens have organized the Perryopolis Industrial Enterprises to pro- mote the expansion of employment opportunities in the area. Another new organization is the Perryopolis Community Development Council . This organization consists of representatives from 18 civic groups and aims to im- prove the appearance of the community. The guidance of orderly community growth and development has been delegated by the Borough Council to an official Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with the enabling legislation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This Com- mission determined to equip itself with the proper tools to guide growth and develop- ment has made a complete restudy of the Master Plan of 1949, the results of which are presented in this report. The preparation of this report was made possible through cooperation of Federal, State and Local agencies in addition to the Trustees of the Mary Fuller Frazier Will The plans visualized herein shall require the continued cooperation of this combination of agencies. The recommendations contained in this plan are concerned with the physical development of land for human use, the firrancial aspects of providing public improve- ments and the regulatory measures to assure development in accordance with accepted standards to promote health, safety and welfare. 2 AREA DEVELOPNiENT .; ; . Perryopolis and Surrounding Areas Perryopolis is located in the bituminous coal producing area of southwestern Pennsyl- vania, as shown on the Regional Map, Piate 1. The coal is generally shipped, either in its natural state, or as coke, to the great industrial area of Pittsburgh,. The vital roll in the suply of coal that this area once played in support of basic activities of the national economy has declined in importance with out-of-state mining compet- ition, competition from other fuels, and the depletion of high quality coal reserves. The community of Perryopolis is not architecturally characteristic of a mining village nor is the neighboring countryside marred by ghost mine elevators and ugly culm piles, P\lever-the-less, the decline in economic activity throughout the area was felt in Perryopolis and serves to illustrate that this small community must interest itself in county and regional planning to safeguard its economic welfare. Currently, stimulation of interest in area development by the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Commerce, various agencies in the Greater Pittsburgh Area, the West Penn Power Company, the Fayette County Plonning and Zoning Commission and the Faycttc County Development Council has produced enviable results in industrial diversification sufficient to curb the drop in employment and retard the out-migration of people. The purpose of this report is not to discuss details of the County or Regional Program, but, to observe factors having a bearing on the future growth, stability and welfare of the local community. For.. .in this way, the Perryopolis Industrial Enterprises and Borough Cfficials hope to contribute to the expansion of employment in the area. The Town Plan Report of 1949 observed that the trend towards out-migration through- out a five county area was evident as early as 1920 - 1930, the period when mining operations began to drop, It likewise noted that a large excess in births over deaths attributed to a degree some stability in population growth. This evidence that the balance point is extremely delicate between population growth and the expansion of employment opportunities, gives priority to the industrial promotion effort .

    Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary Of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on Baseline Reviews of Date: February 4, 2000 Four Highway/Transit Mega Projects TR-2000-043 From: Alexis M. Stefani Reply to JA-30 Attn of: Assistant Inspector General for Auditing To: Federal Highway Administrator Federal Transit Administrator This report provides the results of our baseline reviews of four projects identified as “mega” projects. Mega projects are those projects estimated to cost over $1 billion or having congressional interest. The specific objective of this review was to provide information on the current status, estimated cost, funding sources, and completion schedule, as well as to identify outstanding issues that may affect each project. Our baseline reviews are also intended to enable us to perform more timely audits of those projects experiencing cost, financing, or scheduling problems. The four projects reviewed were: • Miami (Florida) East-West Multimodal Corridor Project; • Gowanus (New York) Expressway Project; • California State Route 210 Project (formerly State Route 30); and • Monongahela/Fayette (Mon/Fayette) Expressway Project in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. RESULTS-IN-BRIEF Our review disclosed that sufficient funding to complete three of the four projects has not been identified. The planned $1.5 billion transit line from the Palmetto Expressway to the Port of Miami (the major component of the Miami Multimodal Corridor project) has been placed on hold. The $2.5 billion Mon/Fayette Expressway from Morgantown, West Virginia, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is being built in usable segments as funds become available. The Gowanus Expressway project in New York, which includes a viaduct from 6th Avenue and 2 65th Street to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, is in its early stages of design.

Terms used in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Official Statement unless specifically otherwise defined herein. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Official Statement in its entirety. 1. On page 28 of the Official Statement under the caption “CERTAIN RISK FACTORS—United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania” a new paragraph is added at the end of the subsection. The inserted paragraph reads as follows: “On January 27, 2020, the United States Supreme Court denied the Trucking Plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari asking the Supreme Court to review the decision of the Third Circuit. Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. et al. v. Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission et al., cert. denied (U.S. Jan. 27, 2020) (No. 19- 762). This denial by the Supreme Court means the Court has decided not to hear the case, which is favorable to the Commission in that it leaves undisturbed the favorable decision of the Third Circuit. The Supreme Court rules permit a party who has been so denied to file a petition for a rehearing of such denial, to be filed within 25 days after the date of the order of denial; but the grounds for such a petition for rehearing are limited to intervening circumstances of a substantial or controlling effect or to other substantial grounds not previously presented.” 2.
