WHY I CAME
“We want to feel like a deep part of a community when we were welcomed to the town. The municipality welcomed us to the town-the Borough made it easy for us to locate here as opposed to other places; the local businesses supported us, and the citizens have embraced us.“
Rick Hawtrey, owner of Capital Joe West Main Street
TITA EBERLY
“My hat is off to the Downtown Mechanicsburg Partnership for the exciting programming they have initiated over the last several years!
Having been involved and supportive of the establishment of the Mechanicsburg Museum Association, the building of the Joseph T. Simpson Public Library, the Mechanicsburg Area Foundation and the Wildcat Foundation, it is wonderful to hear about the plans for the RENAISSANCE Mechanicsburg project.
Please join me and all of the dedicated volunteers serving the Partnership as they embark on this ambitious project. Open your hearts and checkbooks to make this a reality!
With high hopes and sincere wishes for a new vitality in our downtown.” Tita
