HOUSING

In the past two decades the percentage of growth for housing units was slightly higher than the population growth. As fewer people live together and family sizes decrease, this trend will continue, creating a need for more housing.

If built, the Greenway will extend through the Nittany Valley Region as well as the Centre Region, Penns Valley and Lower Bald Eagle Valley Region. The Greenway, when completed, will provide a continuous path for walkers and bicyclists. Also in the works, are two possible rail-trails. The Bellefonte Central Rail Trail Project will eventually connect the Bellefonte water district with the Penn State University Arboretum. Once completed, the trail would be 13 miles and traverse through four municipalities. The village of Pleasant Gap is also working to create a rail-trail that would extend for almost a mile, and would create access to the elementary school, as well as a new recreation park nearby.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The region has access to the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) Bus that provides public transportation within the Centre Region. The CATA Bus’s main purpose is to serve the Centre Region, but also provides daily trips from the Centre Region to the Nittany Valley. Every day CATA Bus provides round-trip transportation from Downtown State College to Bellefonte, Pleasant Gap.

Nittany Valley is also served by the Centre County Office of Transportation (CCOT). The CCOT provides countywide service. It is a shared ride program that requires advance scheduling for use. The program is available to the general public for a small fee, and is free for senior citizens and clients of Centre County’s Human Services Agency.
