The Latrobe Community Revitalization Program (LCRP) is a dedicated community-driven effort using the successful Main Street Program approach to:

• Revitalize our downtown business district by preserving our historical architecture and strengthening our economic development.

• Promote our unique heritage, while demonstrating our sense of community pride.

• Create more opportunities for recreational and cultural development for the benefit of the greater Latrobe area.

ABOUT THE MAIN STREET PROGRAM

The Main Street Program is a comprehensive, community based revitalization approach, developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Since 1980, more than 1,650 communities across the country have participated in the program.

This program focuses on a five-point approach to revitalization--organization, economic restructuring, promotion, design, and safe, clean & green:

• Design – getting downtown into top physical shape

• Organization—creating consensus and cooperation among downtown stakeholders

• Promotion – marketing the best attributes of our downtown

• Economic Restructuring—establishing new uses for downtown while creating new assets and better utilizing existing assets.  

• Safe, Clean & Green—establishing strategies and partnerships to improve public safety and improve the environment.
