- Starting in 2019, as part of the emerging revitalization of the City of Shamokin, PA, Andy Twiggar purchased several historic buildings in town, with the intention of both preserving the history of these buildings and providing business opportunities for the region.
This is a sneak peak into a video series that introduces these buildings and the work being done on them, while presenting some of their historic stories.
Ouugtt !! Shamokin I love it ❤
Hain't! And thnaks.
Hain't?
So what are you doing with these buildings? I love these old buildings and would live to see someone bring them back to life. There is much potential but little money to make the dreams happen.
Some of the buildings are proposed to be hotels for the area. Hopefully the old F&S building becomes a brewery/restaurant.
So there us money to do these projects or are they hopes and dreams?
@@TrudyPersavage-iu8ni I am not the building owner. I am documenting the history of these buildings and the progress being made. I have no information on the financials involved with the ownership.
I think what he is planning is wonderful, and the renderings are stunning, but the public is losing faith because he has owned the buildings for many years and they’re just deteriorating more, with little to no progress. Perhaps if he addressed the issues and stated next steps or what was needed to move the projects forward, it would dispel some of the grumblings…maybe even help the cause. Everyone wants to see these buildings saved. Transparency often goes a long way.
I agree and I see and hear these rumblings. I hope with the upcoming videos we can show everyone what has been done and what setbacks occurred along the way. The work involved will take years and I understand the frustration.
