Shapiro-Davis Administration Celebrates Continued Investments in Pennsylvania's Downtowns and Main Streets

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis and Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger highlighted the Shapiro-Davis Administration's continued investments in Pennsylvania's downtowns and main streets while visiting small businesses in Etna, Allegheny County.

Governor Josh Shapiro secured $20 million for Main Street Matters in his 2026-27 state budget to provide the tools our downtowns and surrounding neighborhoods need to thrive. Lt. Governor Davis and Secretary Siger visited several small businesses in Etna, which is benefiting from a recent Main Street Matters award for $153,421. During the tour, they stopped at Cop Out Pierogies, Pollak's Candies and CoStar Brewing.

"Our main streets aren't just a window into Pennsylvania's past - they're a window into our future," said Lt. Governor Austin Davis. "By investing in stronger infrastructure, and safer and easier parking options, we're helping businesses thrive, strengthening our local economy, and creating vibrant communities for all Pennsylvanians."
