2 / STATE OF DOWNTOWN
WELCOME TO
DOWNTOWN
HARRISBURG!
At the core of our great city sits our thriving
and growing downtown. It is the heartbeat of
Harrisburg—where business grows nearly every
week and Pennsylvania's power players meet at the
state Capitol. It is where our restaurants are packed,
and a walk along the riverfront provides the most
majestic views at sunset. It is where baseball fans
can catch a game on an island, and music fans
can jam in the park. It is where education reigns
supreme, as universities and high schools sit on the
cutting edge of technology and groom our next
scientific leaders. Downtown Harrisburg is on the
rise, thanks to our speedy economic recovery. We
are investing in more housing downtown because
the demand is there to be part of what we are
building. Whether you are looking for theater, the
arts, politics, renowned restaurants, or nightlife,
downtown Harrisburg shows every day why people
want to be part of our city more than ever before.
Mayor Wanda R. D. Williams,
