Stewards VISTA: Community Development Coordinator – Fay-Penn
 
 
 
The Uniontown Downtown Business District Authority advances economic revitalization, historic preservation, and small business growth in Uniontown’s Main Street district. In partnership with Fay-Penn Economic Development Council, the organization works to strengthen public-private collaboration, encourage reinvestment in historic commercial properties, and expand economic opportunity in the downtown core. This VISTA project builds internal capacity by developing planning systems, documentation tools, and partnership frameworks that strengthen the district’s ability to manage revitalization initiatives. The VISTA focuses on creating internal resources that staff can use to coordinate Main Street programming, guide redevelopment strategies, and manage partnerships after the VISTA term. The VISTA member will develop internal project management templates, partnership mapping tools, real estate inventories, and business development planning resources. These tools will support long-term economic development by strengthening organizational systems. By improving internal planning and coordination infrastructure, this project addresses root causes of poverty by supporting sustainable small business growth, downtown reinvestment, and economic stability in Uniontown. The service opportunity provides experience in Main Street revitalization systems, historic district planning, economic development research, and organizational capacity-building.
