Public meeting planned on Shamokin revitalization efforts

SHAMOKIN – If you live, work, or otherwise have a stake in Shamokin, community leaders want your input on revitalization efforts.

A public open house is set for Wednesday, March 18 from 6pm to 7pm at the Casey Club Knights of Columbus, 400 East Independence Street.

The meeting, organizers say, will provide an opportunity for community members to learn about ongoing revitalization efforts and share their ideas for the future of Shamokin.

SEDA-Council of Governments in partnership with the City of Shamokin and the GoShamokin! initiative are putting together the event.

“Community participation is essential to the success of these efforts,” said Betsy Kramer, director of Community Revitalization at SEDA-COG. “This open house is an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to learn about the work already underway and help shape the next chapter of Shamokin’s revitalization.”

During the open house, attendees will hear a brief overview of current planning initiatives and improvement projects underway in the city before participating in interactive activities designed to gather community feedback.

Informational exhibits will also be available, allowing participants to provide input directly to the planning team.

Public input gathered during the meeting will help guide future redevelopment strategies and priorities that support Shamokin’s continued economic growth and revitalization.

Community members interested in attending are asked to RSVP by emailing Brittiny Wright at [email protected].
