Emerging Conclusions1.Downtown can’t compete with suburban development but it can distinguish itself and provide a complement to the suburban experience.2.Downtown functions as it should. There are uses that serve the local community but there is the opportunity for much more. 3.Need to balance benefits of student activities with challenges and protect neighborhood character.4.Allen Street corridor should be the focus for family and resident-based activities and businesses.5.Challenge: Getting regional customers coming in on a regular basis.

Downtown State College will continue to evolve into a world-class “College Town” district that reflects the dynamic “town/gown” relationship between a major university and a vibrant commercial district. Downtown will be a place where local citizens, regional and international visitors, faculty, staff, and students will find appealing, exciting and diverse offerings. Downtown State College will also emerge as a district that embraces sustainability and offers shopping, dining, entertainment, culture and the arts amidst a variety of living options and places to work.
