TAMAQUA – Senator David G. Argall (R-Schuylkill/Berks) released the following statement regarding Governor Corbett’s recent announcement that Tamaqua was awarded a City Revitalization and Improvement Zone Pilot Zone designation:
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Borough of Tamaqua and its surrounding communities — Tamaqua is the first non-city and only the third municipality in Pennsylvania to earn this coveted designation. I’d like to applaud the local officials for their efforts to realize the potential of this program already utilized in Lancaster and Bethlehem. I’m looking forward to working with residents, borough officials, businesses, developers and others to maximize the borough’s potential and take full advantage of this program.”
