News Tribune Building Renovation
The BF CDC owns the News Tribune Building, an iconic and centrally located building in downtown Beaver Falls, containing decades of memories. While desperate for repair, the CDC has recognized the importance of preserving this building in an effort toward community revitalization and a new chapter in our city’s history book. The BF CDC hopes to complete a full green renovation in order to provide a permanent space for the new children’s museum Neighborhood North: Museum of Play. We have partnered with the regional entity RiverWise to help us undertake this renovation process.
This vision is being brought to life one step at a time. The first step was to replace the roof, which now provides a beautiful view of both the city and the hillside across the river. The next step is to completely overhaul the building’s interior, which started progressed significantly in the past year due to various volunteer groups from Portage Learning and Geneva College. The document to the right shows the significant investment that has already gone into the building!
