Improving Evans City topic of Saturday meeting
EVANS CITY — Installing an electronic message board for community events, building a motel and finding activities for youth and senior citizens were some ideas pitched Saturday to make Evans City an even better place to live.
A dozen residents and business owners talked about what they like about the borough and shared ideas about how to improve the quality of life for residents and attract tourists. The meeting was the first of what organizers said will be quarterly “Community Conversations” meetings.
The Rev. Lisa Griffin of St. John's United Church of Christ and Michelina Stickney, director of the Evans City Public Library, organized the first meeting that was held in the library.
