Ellwood City Revitalization (E.C.R.),
is a non-profit organization comprised of a group of collective
citizens that have volunteered our time and talents
 because of our
mutual love of the Ellwood City Region. The business district is
the heart and soul of our community. We
believe that by working as a community that our downtown can become a
source of pride, sustain and
grow the existing business and attract new opportunities for the future.
|
Our mission is to
improve the look and functionality
of
Ellwood City’s downtown in order to attract more
employment opportunities and people.
Our vision is to recognize the unique and varied economic and
visual interests and needs of the downtown, its property owners and
the community. We will achieve this by planning a coherent
appearance to our downtown while maintaining our heritage. We will
strive to become an excellent example of how private enterprise,
working in cooperation with local government officials and policy
makers, can build on existing assets to revitalize our downtown
community.
