DEVELOPMENT IN DOWNTOWN TAMAQUA
LOOKING UP: A CALL TO RECOVER THE UNDERUSED UPPER STORIES IN DOWNTOWN TAMAQUA
The Tamaqua Area Community Partnership recently commissioned the production of a short video to highlight the potential for development of the upper stories of our commercial buildings in downtown Tamaqua. The video features the commercial and residential development that has been completed at the Flat Iron Building by the Miller family.
The Chamber's Executive Director, Linda Yulanavage, along with Todd Miller, owner of the Flat Iron Building, Kerry Barr, a residential tenant in the building, and Les Wargo, owner of Atlas Structural Steel, a commercial tenant in the building, provide insight on the possibilities and advantages for development of the building stock in downtown Tamaqua.
Producer, Ed Redding, provided the editing of this production. The still photos are part of the Upper Story Market study that was recently completed by Schroeder & Schroeder Consulting of Barnesville for the Community Partnership. (A copy of the study will be available on this site in the near future.)
You will be amazed at the possibilities that are available for development of market rate housing, and commercial space in Tamaqua's downtown.
For further information on the development possibilities, contact the Chamber of Commerce office at (570)668-1880, or chamber@tamaqua.net.
