As part of our comprehensive plan, we want to build an area with a downtown feel there that’s identified as uniquely Millcreek, supporting small businesses right near the park.” BVM: What else would you like people to know about Millcreek Township? Morgan: “The focus of our comprehensive plan is to create a distinctive Presque Isle District and that 8th Street corridor is key for us to take this natural asset and build on its potential. Right now, Millcreek is Anywhere USA and we want to establish that district as a site for major redevelopment efforts, where residents enjoy going on weekends and tourists want to return to again and again. We are also very fortunate to have an active private sector and great relationships with Millcreek Mall developers, the Cafaro Company, and their partners Baldwin Brothers, who bring in new development prospects to keep that commercial area vital and thriving for us. “All in all, we are a vibrant, welcoming community. We offer a lot of the intangible things that people are looking for. As part of the Erie metropolitan area, Millcreek has the big city amenities with all the small town charm, and really cares about its residents and businesses. We invite you to join us and help make us the community of choice.” Courtesy of Brian McGrath Courtesy of Melanie Komisarski MI LLCREEK TOWNSHI P , PENNSYLVANI A
