BEAVER FALLS – The community is invited to a special event to learn about the new Beaver Falls innovation and cultural corridor in the heart of the city.

The Beaver Falls Core, located on Seventh Avenue between 10th and 17th streets, will be a cooperative effort between the city, businesses and nonprofit organizations to create a cultural and business destination focused on collaboration and innovation.

Representatives will be on hand to explain more about the corridor and its initiatives.

“We’re so excited to finally get this event underway," Rochelle Burks, director of community development for Beaver Falls, said. "Many people from a variety of organizations and businesses have been working to improve the core business district in Beaver Falls. Many of those key players have been working with us, but there are others who have been doing their part on their own. We hope this event will alert people that there is work being done to beautify and modernize Seventh Avenue in Beaver Falls and we’re always looking for ways to include new supporters in the work. Come out and join us as we celebrate the launch of the Beaver Falls Core.”
