A Community Development Focus
The Mon Valley Alliance (MVA), when it was formed in 2016, made a part of its mission to be more involved in the communities it serves and to support shorter term projects that improve the quality of life for residents. Areas of focus include blight removal, park and recreational development, river accessibility, and working with local municipalities to find efficiencies in governance.
Current Projects
Charleroi Riverfront Park
The former Charleroi Area High School Stadium was demolished in 2018. With over 4 acres of riverfront property now available for development, we are working on plans to create recreational space, expand the Charleroi Boat launch, and install additional public amenities to the area.
