The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger will visit downtown Lansdowne to announce its new Main Street designation through the Main Street Matters program, which provides downtown business districts with the tools they need to create healthy, vibrant communities.
Governor Josh Shapiro secured $20 million for Main Street Matters in the 2026-27 state budget to continue revitalizing downtowns, support small businesses, and strengthen local economies.
Main Street Matters, which is a key part of Pennsylvania's 10-year Economic Development Strategy, has invested $34 million in 137 revitalization projects in communities across the Commonwealth since it was created in 2024 by Governor Shapiro.
