DOWNTOWN RECOGNITION AWARD
Rhoda and Donald Worf
The Verona Business District Authority has chosen Rhoda and Donald Worf for their outstanding contributions to Verona. Their tireless energy and community-oriented goals have made them a big asset to our downtown. They helped spearhead our greatly appreciated History Center, along with bringing thousands of dollars in grants for Verona. Rhoda and Donald have recently opened the Boulevard Gallery that gives local artists a place to display their talents. Rhoda is also a Verona Councilperson.
In addition to Rhoda and Don's accomplishments for our town, they were instrumental in our after-Christmas tree burning, VIP committee, Garden club and our Verona newsletter. They also started the Verona Flea Market and Farmers' Market. Thanks to Don we will be having a new web site. It's dedicated people like these that help make our town special!

PHLF UPDATE REGARDING ALLEGHENY RESTORES
It's been a busy summer and fall throughout the Allegheny Together communities. Business and building owners are completing façade improvement projects both big and small, special events brought residents and new visitors alike to the downtowns, and new businesses are cropping up everywhere. It has been an exciting few months and as the weather gets colder, PHLF is available to assist you in a variety of ways. This is the perfect time to plan a façade project, and we're here to help you understand the Allegheny Restores application process and help generate ideas for specific improvements to your building. We also have free interior design assistance available from a roster of experienced design professionals that can help you create eye-catching window displays, maximize interior layout, and assist with merchandising so special items are highlighted. In the New Year, we're looking forward to continuing the great momentum that each community has made and build upon it. If you are a merchant or property owner located in one of the Allegheny Together downtowns, please get in touch with us. There is valuable assistance available to you and we are eager to assist you.
