Coudersport Honored For Revitalization Efforts
Coudersport has been named the 2025 Heritage Community of the Year by the Pa. Route 6 Alliance, based on a series of events and activities taking place under its Heritage Community Work Plan to make the town more vibrant. These range from downtown revitalization activities by a re-energized Chamber of Commerce, to festivals organized by volunteer organizations and charitable activities to support cancer patients and underprivileged citizens. “Coudersport is undertaking meaningful projects that show what we can achieve together,” said Candace Hillyard, executive director of the Pa. Route 6 Alliance. More information about the organization and the awards program can be found at paroute6.com. Shown from left during the presentation ceremony are Jill Grosch, representing Rep.
