Shapiro Administration Awards Downtown Lansdowne New Main Street Designation
Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger awarded downtown Lansdowne in Delaware County a new Main Street designation through the Main Street Matters program, which provides downtown business districts with the support and tools they need to spark economic growth and create vibrant communities.
Governor Josh Shapiro secured $20 million to continue funding Main Street Matters in his 2026-27 state budget. Main Street Matters, which is a crucial component of Pennsylvania's 10-year Economic Development Strategy, has invested $34 million in 137 revitalization projects in communities across the Commonwealth since it was created in 2024 by Governor Shapiro.
As part of today's announcement, Secretary Siger visited several small businesses in Lansdowne, including Camellia Coffee House, the Lansdowne Theater, and art studio and maker space Utility Works.
