PA Heart & Soul Profile | Beaver County

PA Humanities is currently working with cities and towns across the state to put people first in community development and planning processes through Community Heart & Soul®. The program’s innovative approach uses the tools of the humanities to creatively engage residents in planning and decision-making processes as a way to strengthen a town’s social, cultural and economic vibrancy.

In February 2020, PHC officially announced its partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), the Beaver County Planning Commission, and the Orton Family Foundation to bring Community Heart & Soul® to Ambridge. This Beaver County community will build its own local Community Heart & Soul® leadership team with regional coordination and support from the Beaver County Planning Commission.
