Tarentum’s successful Farmer’s Market is returning this June for a its third season!  Join us each Wednesday morning, starting on June 16^th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for locally raised fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, meats, as well as baked goods and prepared foods.

However, there is an exciting new development that will be wonderful for our market.  Last week, First United Presbyterian Church at the corner on Lock Street & 10^th Avenue (directly across from Dunkin Donuts & the new MedExpress) offered the use of their highly visible parking lot.

Our new “home” is just one block away from Tarentum Bridge Road and on 10^th Avenue, which are the two most heavily traveled roadways in our community.

Additionally, there is a 2^nd parking lot next to it which shoppers can use for very convenient parking. The benefits are two-fold.  This is a much more visible location which should bring in additional shoppers and parking is optimum, for passersby and workers from the business district. It is also within easy walking distance of hundreds of residential homes.

This is an initiative of the Tarentum Business Area Advisory Committee as was developed to enhance community and business life in downtown Tarentum.

A Comprehensive Plan is an attempt to establish guidelines for the future growth of a community.  The elements of a comprehensive plan can vary from one jurisdiction to another.  In most cases though, the plan consists of a study of existing conditions and a discussion of future trends, goals, and objectives. Land-use patterns, housing conditions, population, infrastructure, and the economy are usually the primary areas studied.  However, the content of plans has evolved as the needs of society and technology have changed.   Today, plans may take into consideration sustainability issues as well as public health concerns.

The Comprehensive Plan for Tarentum is available for download and review in the DOWNLOADS area of our website.  There are 25 documents comprising the plan, each can be downloaded independently.
