About this listen

(00:00:00)

We begin with July Fitzpatrick, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Downtown Center, and Ryan Unger, President & CEO of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and CREDC. They break down ongoing revitalization efforts in downtown Harrisburg, why the city’s growth matters for the entire region, and how the new Downtown Harrisburg Perception Survey will guide future planning, investment, and community priorities.

(00:22:51)

Then we turn to cultural heritage with Dr. Michael A. Di Giovine, anthropologist and museum director, to explore how Pennsylvanians connect to their past through public memory, music and symbols like the Pennsylvania state song. He discusses how music, art, and storytelling help shape a shared sense of identity.
