Partnership Opportunities

PDC Premier Revitalization Conference Partnership

Partnership is a highly visible, cost-effective way to reach community leaders and change makers as they foster new ideas and solutions for preservation-based revitalization across the commonwealth. Partner packages businesses, organizations and individuals with the opportunity to connect directly with local decision-makers and support communities on their path to economic revitalization.

The PDC’s annual conference provides educational opportunities through educational sessions, peer-to-peer learning, and networking over a course of 4 days. These opportunities help communities throughout the commonwealth to build capacity, forge strong partnerships, and learn from others as we all continue our own local efforts towards preserving and enhancing our community’s historic character, local buildings, quality of life, and overall community wellness.

Partnerships enable the PDC to provide a quality conference at an affordable value for attendees. Please consider supporting both the conference and these community leaders from across PA. All partners will be highlighted in the event program and on the PDC website.

Over 250 attendees from at least 85 different communities throughout the commonwealth will be in attendance, in addition to PA Dept. of Community and Economic Development staff and other partner organizations for the four-day event. The event will also celebrate the work these leaders are doing in their own communities at the Townie Awards Dinner which honors outstanding achievements in community revitalization across the state.

The Commonwealth of PA recently created the Main Street Matters program, bringing $20 million dollars to fund general operations, planning projects, infrastructure improvements, development and rehab projects, affordable housing initiatives, business assistance grants & loans, and much more to our local programs. Many of these local programs are searching for new vendors to support them in their efforts and this would be a great way for you to introduce yourself to them.
