LOOKING AHEAD All of these streetscape projects as well as the ongoing borough support for local businesses coupled with a continued focus on business attraction equal a strong growth trajectory for Ebensburg as we round out 2024 and welcome a new year ahead. So what is the borough focusing its efforts on over the next 18 months or so? “We are wrapping up our infrastructure projects and hoping to hear word if we have received a grant to dredge Lake Rowena which is a lake that offers a lot of recreation in the form of fishing. The grant would enable us to dredge the lake to help with the wildlife and fishing quality in the area as well as stabilizing the banks- we are really hoping that this goes through,” Cook offers. “I would say we are just continuing to maintain our sense of community and the vibrancy of our downtown,” Koss reflects. “I’ve been here for 16 years, the Mayor before me was here for 16 years, and the Mayor before him was here for 20 years,” Mayor Datsko describes. “There is a lot of stability in a lot of areas here,” he concludes. 172 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 12
