HARRISBURG – Gov. Josh Shapiro joined with local leaders to launch a new collaborative plan to invest in and spur revitalization in Downtown Harrisburg. He announced his Administration will be devoting significant funding towards the Harrisburg Works for All of Us revitalization plan. The first phase will be supported by $64 million in new public and private investments to the city which will be used to support businesses, improve the downtown and activate the riverfront to attract more residents and visitors, and expand recreational, art, and culture opportunities. The Shapiro Administration has invested over $31 million in Harrisburg over the past several years – including funding for economic development and public safety – and the Commonwealth is investing another $22.7 million in new funding to help jump start the revitalization plan, which was developed with public input over the past nine months.
