Reinventing Rural with Impact Corry: What's Happening Now and What's to Come

The park will transform blighted historic rail freight building into restaurant / brew pub; a derelict railyard into a destination park with year-round amenities such as a splash pad and ice rink; fill a gap in the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail as well as the Industrial Heartland Mega Trail; and spur economic development, boost tourism, and improve the quality of life.
