Downtown Recognition Awards

Fall 2011

The Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee (BDAC) is pleased to recognize Sam Jampetro, Pastor of Charis 247 Anglican Church as its Featured Downtown Recognition Recipient.

In addition to his work as Pastor of Charis 247, Sam is the Chaplain of the RMU Campus Ministry. He is a lifelong resident of Coraopolis. He and his wife, Jackie, have two children and a new grandson as well!

Sam serves as co-chair of the BDAC. He is also the current chair of Coraopolis Community Development. That organization administers the Coraopolis Service Unit of the Salvation Army serving the residents of the 15108 and 15046 zip codes.

Sam also works tirelessly to build greater connectivity between the community of Coraopolis and RMU through several initiatives that are focused in utilizing RMU students in positive ways that meld their education with practical experience.

The Coraopolis BDAC extends their thanks to Sam for all he does for our community!

Second Quarter 2011

The Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee (BDAC) would like to recognize Jackie Smith as its 2nd Quarter Downtown Recognition Award recipient for 2011. The BDAC recognizes a person, business, or group each quarter who has made some notable contribution to the downtown revitalization efforts of our community.

Jackie has been very involved in the Coraopolis community since she became Manager of the Coraopolis ESB branch. She and her staff have volunteered at the free summer lunch program at Vance Avenue Community Church for the past 3 summers. In addition, she is on the advisory team at Network of Hope, Coraopolis. Jackie serves as the Community Life Chair of the Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee. She has volunteered at both the Walk for Change and Back 2 School Bash and contributed both personally and professionally.

Recently, she spearheaded the Coraopolis 125th birthday celebration over the Memorial Day weekend where there were activities for kids of all ages from Friday through Monday. She was very diligent in trying to include all community groups at this event.

The Coraopolis BDAC thanks Jackie for her unfailing commitment to Coraopolis!

 First Quarter 2011

The Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee has chosen Dr. Michael P. Lucas as it 1st Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2011.  Dr. Lucas is the principal at Cornell Elementary and is being recognized for receiving the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding School Leadership at the 2010 Blue Ribbon Schools Awards ceremony in Washington D.C.on November 16, 2010. 

He is well-respected by administrators and faculty as a leader who fosters successful teaching and learning in his school. He does all that is necessary to ensure a quality education for all students. Through various programs, he provides curriculum development, professional development, full-time interns for student remediation, common planning time for teachers and many other tools for student success. 

The Coraopolis School District is extremely fortunate to have such a talented, dedicated educator “who inspires, guides and sustains others…” Congratulations, Dr. Lucas!

Fourth Quarter 2010

The Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee (BDAC) has chosen community volunteer Lucinda Wade as its 4th Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2010. Lucinda is also serving on the Community life aspect of BDAC. 

Lucinda has started a lunch program in the summer that children from 6-18 can come and enjoy a free lunch Monday-Friday. There are no income guidelines, but if the child is younger than 6, he/she must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This program is in conjunction with Network of Hope, and the Coraopolis Church of God on Vance and Flemming Streets, where Lucinda’s husband is pastor. The volunteers play games, read and listen to the children, as well, from 11:30-1:00. 

Lucinda’ church also hosts an after-school program in conjunction with Cornell School District

Lucinda has also organized a Friday Fun Night for children.  She has invited various sponsors to donate Pizza etc. and they have taken the kids on field trips to baseball games and amusement parks.

Lucinda is instrumental in starting an organization, which is still in its infancy stage, called Coraoplis Youth Network.  This is happening with the help of Donna Bellas, Cornell School Superintendent.   

The BDAC congratulates Lucinda Wade on this honor and thanks her for her tireless dedication to our youth.

Third Quarter 2010

The Coraopolis Business District Advisory Committee has chosen Christopher Connolly of CC&A Properties as its 3rd Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2010.  Chris is a long-time believer in Coraopolis! With a 25-year history of investment that began with the purchase and renovation of the former “Matt’s Market” on Fifth Avenue, Chris has been an advocate for business interests here.  He is proud to announce the completion of yet another quality property, located at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets. This office building will be the home and headquarters of APT Technical Services, a Pennsylvania-based engineering firm.  It joins two prior projects owned and developed by CC&A.  As the developer and designer of these properties, Mr. Connolly understands the potential of this area and has committed to future projects in the town of Coraopolis.
