STMS News
The Marketplace stands out in the field of winners because it was the only project in a small borough, had a budget of $1.2 million and was done with only public funds. The other winners were from various cities across Pennsylvania, had tens and hundreds of million dollar budgets and were a combination of public and private funding.
The comments from the award jury explain why the Marketplace was included with these major projects: “The Marketplace at Telford is a great example of how historic preservation can lead to community creation. The project demonstrates that small towns can make big impacts through the preservation of existing structures. The transformation of a former rail building into a community gathering space, complete with outdoor dining and access to locally grown food is a wonderful combination of sustainable practices. Accompanying the restorations is the construction of an additional building that is sensitive to the context. The Marketplace at Telford creates a wonderful asset for the community.”
All the hard work everyone - elected officials in the boroughs, the municipal staf, the Main Street volunteers- has been doing for the past 10 years is actually cutting edge. We are ahead of the trend toward moving from the auto-dominated suburbs back into the walkable comunities.
Telford Borough Manager, Mark Fournier joined Souderton Telford Main Streets Manager, Pam Coleman and Office Manager, Erika Pipe, at the Pennsylvania Downtown Center's state Main Street Conference in Johnstown, PA.
The Marketplace at Telford Station was recognized with a Townie Award for Large Project/ Anchor Building category.
Photos were taken after the ceremony on Tuesday, June 9. More details to follow, when the staff returns to the office on Thursday.
Read about the conference in the Johnstown Tribune Democrat today and yesterday.
