Wilkes-Barre's Downtown Residents Association is building support for a Pepsi Refresh Grant to put a new downtown plan into action, the Times Leader reports.
The Pepsi Co. is giving away millions of dollars to community
projects, and the local group wants to finish in the top 10 of projects
to have the funding to hold free cultural events on the River Common.
Besides the events, the Cultural Council identified several goals if
it receives the Pepsi grant: to build a sense of community in
neighborhoods, educate the public on the Susquehanna River, program a
year-long season of events and positively influence people’s lives.
