INDIANA BOROUGH TO HOLD PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SESSIONS IN SEPTEMBER ON 8TH STREET INITIATIVE

Indiana Borough is getting ready to hold some public participation sessions concerning the 8^th Street Corridor project.

The borough is working with IUP, the county office of planning and development and a few IUP student groups on transforming 8^th Street from the Campus to the Downtown area into a “vibrant, welcoming linear space that seamlessly connects campus life with the energy of downtown,” according to a statement from the borough.  The plan has been a part of the recent comprehensive plan for Indiana Borough and the University’s long-range master plan.

As part of that, a two-day workshop is being planned for September 25^th at The Artist Hand and the 26^th at Philly Street Candle Bar.  Borough Manager Nicole Sipos said this will give not just locals a chance to take part, but students as well.

The tentative schedule will have the events running all day at both locations.  More details can be found on the borough’s website.
