In 1999, Swarthmore finalized a revitalization strategy which outlined 32 action areas.   (View a copy of this document)  Swarthmore continues to address these action areas and its downtown revitalization efforts with the creation of Swarthmore Town Center, Inc. a program based on the National Trust’s Main Street model. Four action committees have been created to focus on the following areas:

• Business and Economic Development- Working to assist existing businesses and attracting new businesses into the town.  Click here to learn more about starting a business in Swarthmore.
• Design- enhancing the appearance of the downtown area
• Events- creating events that help bring people into the downtown area and make it a center for town activity
• Promotion- creating and maintaining an image of Swarthmore as an attractive and vital place to live and locate a business

The program is managed by a board of directors:

• Mark Rossi- President
• Jack Cavanaugh- VP
• Scott Richardson- Treasurer
• Sharon Lee- Secretary
• Kathy Gerner
• Maurice Eldridge
• Dan Meza
• Linda Montgomery
• Dean Michelson
• Edmund Jones- Solicitor
