Since his appointment at the beginning of 2006, Tom Curtin's leadership of the Progress and Development Committee have resulted in the creation of a LERTA economic incentive program to bring new business construction to Parkesburg.
Now he’s leading a new effort to create a new First and Main Project to revitalize the business district and improve Parkesburg’s appearance on Rt. 10.
His efforts will bring a better balance between the rights of property owners and the public interest.
He created the plan for this past summer’s successful Summer Camp in Minch Park.
His work on Streets Committee has developed the first plan to repair streets and sidewalks systematically in years.
Tom's Goals
Make the First and Main project happen. The program he recently outlined to PABA and Borough Council will include street and side walk renewal, facade improvements and rehabilitation, removing irretrievably decayed buildings. The program will focus grant dollars on making the centers of our town cleaner, safer, attractive places where residents can shop, dine and enjoy themselves.
Budget and follow through on an annual infrastructure improvement project, paving a few streets every year so that we don’t waste money on un-ending patching and emergency projects.
Improve rail service and the train station creating a pleasant place to wait and a nice coffee house experience.
Use the LERTA program he wrote in Parkesburg to complete the missing pieces in our revitalization plans.
Tom Curtin is an asset on Borough Council. I hope you'll join me in voting for Tom Curtin on November 6th.

Does "coffee house experience" at the train station mean that the station building will be open in the mornings? With coffee?? That would be awesome, and also help keep us warm while we wait for the train!
How is Tom letting potential businesses know about LERTA? Time to get some advertising out to promote this wonderful program. Talk is cheap, action is needed.
