Description
The Johnsonburg Community Trust (JCT), a 501c3 organization, was established in 1997 by a group of concerned citizens with a mission of beautification and revitalization of downtown Johnsonburg. The JCT worked with Taylor & Taylor of Brookville, PA to have a portion of downtown Johnsonburg achieve Historical Registration status. Due to the group’s organization and commitment, they were chosen by the Hamer Center of Penn State as a case study. Acting on Hamer Center recommendations, the JCT successfully completed many projects over the next several years including tree planting, flower pots and painting.
