  • Business Matters Winter/Spring 2009
    An Economic Development Publication WINTER/SPRING 09 MATTERS IN CAMBRIA COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA Over time, there are certain products that become so wide- ly used that the brand becomes synonymous with the function it performs. “Twenty-five years ago, when you said Xerox, people knew you were talking about a photostat machine,” chuckled Richard Bosserman, president of the Cambria County Association for the Blind and Handicapped (CCABH). “Today, mention CAB® products to people in the mining industry, and they say, ‘Oh, you mean those orange hangers?’” A world leader in the manufacture of insulated wire hooks, rope hangers and mine safety products, CCABH may be one of the best kept secrets in southwestern Pennsylvania. CCABH has been serving the communities of Cambria County for more than 75 years. Its mission is to develop and support an environment for persons with disabilities which promotes vocational and employment training, independence and community involvement. No one dreamed that when workers began hand-bending buckets of wire in 1977 that it would lead to a multi-million dollar industry. “We took advantage of an opportunity to employ severely disabled people, and a miracle happened. We found the right work to meet customer demands and make a profit,” said Bosserman of the disabled workers who staff the production lines at CCABH’s two facilities. “And we are talking about people who are not capable of competitive employment – first grade reading skills, math on a second grade level. The social age here is probably 12. And we produce and ship products all over the world successfully.” Headquartered in a 58,000 square-feet facility in Johnstown, CCABH has 390 employees; 290 of them are Wire Coating area at the Ebensburg facility.

Tartoni June 2007 This thesis titled ARTISTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE: A CASE STUDY OF THE LOWERTOWN ARTS DISTRICT AND THE KERNVILLE ARTS DISTRICT by CHRISTOPHER W. TARTONI has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nancy R. Bain Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract TARTONI, CHRISTOPHER W. M.A., June 2007, Geography ARTISTS AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE: A CASE STUDY OF THE LOWERTOWN ARTS DISTRICT AND THE KERNVILLE ARTS DISTRICT (102 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nancy R. Bain In this thesis, I employ a variety of methods to examine the changes in two neighborhoods, The Lowertown Neighborhood in Paducah, Kentucky and The Kernville Neighborhood in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where each have recently launched programs designed to attract artists to renovate the housing stock. This thesis asks how these two arts districts were formed and what their morphology is, or how the physical form and the function of spaces that have been transformed. This thesis also examines the extent of gentrification that has occurred in Lowertown since the inception of the Artist Relocation Program in August of 2000. Throughout this thesis, comparisons are made to the SoHo (South Houston) Arts District in New York City, a thoroughly studied neighborhood that has experienced arts-driven revitalization and gentrification.
