Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report

More than two dozen local agencies and organizations will meet with the public and talk about their services this Saturday at the Palisades, Downtown.

The Community Expo is being sponsored by McKeesport Blueprint Communities and the Federal Home Loan Bank, says Lani Temple, organization chair.

"It's really quite a variety of vendors, and we think it's going to be very nice," she says. "Each table is donating a door prize, and each person with have information about their organization, and the types of services they offer."

Refreshments will be sold. Doors will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There are 28 organizations in all that will discuss private and government services available to residents and homeowners, including Auberle, Gateway Health Plan, UPMC McKeesport, McKeesport police and fire departments, PNC Bank, Huntingdon Bank, McKee's Point Marina and Prudential Preferred Realty.

Also meeting with visitors will be state Sen. Jim Brewster, County Councilman Bob Macey, and staff from U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle's office.

It's the first time in several years that such a neighborhood services fair has been offered, Temple says. The last such expo was organized by the city's Weed and Seed Program.

McKeesport Blueprint Communities now includes 15 partner organizations and will soon publish a book listing different city organizations and services that will be supplied to banks and real estate agents as a way to market the city, Temple says. For more information, call (412) 673-7000.
