Community Vision
Canonsburg Borough is at both a physical and economic
crossroads. Situated between the current development of Southpointe
II and the soon-to-be-developed Meadows Racetrack/Victory Center
along Interstate-79, Canonsburg is poised to take advantage of its
location as well as its heritage. With downtown improvements, including
a new library and infrastructure renovations, already under way,
Canonsburg intends to use the Main Street Community designation
to further promote and capitalize on its rich musical heritage,
unique architecture and intense community involvement. It also will
solidify the downtown area as the hub of community activity and
an attractive center for tourists. Canonsburg will draw on existing
architecture as well as new structures to enhance current businesses
and attract new businesses, and further develop its already successful
festivals, concerts and events. Distinctive specialty shops, boutiques,
museums and theaters are part of a vision that also emphasizes improved
traffic control. Canonsburg’s residents, preservationists,
entrepreneurs, businesses and government will work in tandem to
develop a stable economy that enhances its own, as well as neighboring,
communities. Through leadership, perseverance and vision, Canonsburg
will energize its assets to become a vital part of Western Pennsylvania. |
