Titusville Towne Square
	The Authority is continuing the work of its predecessors in the enhancement and revitalization of the downtown by the purchase, rehabilitation and development of several historic commercial properties in the heart of the city’s Commercial District.These properties consist of three adjoining commercial storefronts and approximately 24,000 square feet of upper story space in these and other neighboring buildings.  With the support of the Community Development Block Grant, Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Funds, private foundation grants and private investment, this space has undergone extensive rehabilitation.Through phased development, the Authority has removed disincentives to private sector investment.  The Authority’s efforts in the removal of the architectural barriers associated with these buildings began with the installation of a four-story elevator to provide handicapped accessibility to the upper levels as well as critical building stabilization efforts.  During this phase of the project, a spacious lobby was constructed, as was a corridor on the second floor connecting the newly installed elevator to existing professional offices.During the fall of 2001, all three buildings received new roofs.  The next phase of the Towne Square Project involved locating a brew pub/restaurant on the first floor of the old Cohen Building.  It is still occupied by The Blue Canoe, where you can taste locally brewed beer and enjoy an elegant meal. Then the fourth floor of the old Thompson Building was renovated into the Redevelopment Authority Offices and a state of the art Conference Center. This Conference Center is continually used for meetings, seminars and video conferencing. The current project is the renovation of the Second and Third Floors. These spaces will then be offered for rent as offices, office suites and space in an office incubator.    The Authority believes that this core project will not only begin to revitalize the downtown but also enhance the current standard of living, attracting new business and industry to our area.
