ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Economic & Community Development

One of the top priorities of the Ambridge Borough Council is economic & community development in the Ambridge area.


Although Ambridge was built mostly in the early part of the 20th century, there are many properties that an investor with imagination and initiative can turn into sound investment opportunities.


Council is also dedicated to projects that make cosmetic and infrastructure improvements to streets, sidewalks and parks throughout the town.


In this section we hope to provide information on properties that will attract investor interest. We will also feature some current economic and community development projects as they progress through their completion.


If you have property that you believe is suitable for development, contact the Borough Manager’s office (724-266-4070) to discuss the feasibility of featuring your property on this site. If you have your own website, we may be able to provide a link to it.


If you are an investor interested in the Ambridge area, contact the Borough Manager for information and assistance.

The Ambridge historic district economic development corporation (AHDEDC) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit, volunteer, grassroots organization and is endorsed by the Ambridge Borough Council.


In August of 1987, the National Register of Historic Places certified many specific structures throughout the old economy neighborhood of Ambridge as being of “key” or “contributing” historical significance. All these structures were either built or used by the harmonist community. It is this neighborhood and occupancy of these buildings by residents, businesses, or other organizations that the AHDEDC seeks to preserve and promote.
