Frank Cupelli is being recognized as the 3^rd Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2010 by the Stowe Business District Advisory Committee. Frank has spent most of his life in Stowe and through the help of investors and his New Millenium Properties, has become involved in various real estate projects.  The West Park Bottling building has been converted to apartments; a building on Dohrman Street is now home to a busy day care center and, currently, the former Daly’s Pub building is undergoing renovation. We thank Frank for his commitment to Stowe and our revitalization goals.

The Stowe Business District Advisory Committee has chosen Frank Zieger, Jr. as its 2^nd Quarter Downtown Recognition recipient for 2010. Frank is being recognized for his many years of community service and his dedication to our revitalization initiatives. 

In addition to owning and operating Ace Tavern on Broadway for 33 years, he has also served as Stowe Commissioner for the past 12 years and has represented Stowe on the Char-West Council of Governments (COG) for over 7 years.  He successfully lobbied county officials to have Stowe selected as one of the four original municipalities for Allegheny Together, a county program to assist in the renewal and revitalization of their central business districts. 

Serving on the COG's Multi-Municipal Task Force, he secured grants of about $170,000 to implement Phase One of Allegheny Together's Stowe Business District revitalization program; and working with the Public Safety Committee of the Board of Commissioners and the Stowe Police Dept. had crime watch cameras placed at key locations in the Business District to reduce crime and loitering.   This was done at little expense to the township. 

This quote from Frank sums up his philosophy: "Revitalizing the central business district is key to bringing in new businesses and the future long term stability of Stowe Township." 

The BDAC congratulates Frank on this honor and thanks him for his many years of service.

Pittsburghs Spring Redd Up was set for the weekend of April 24-26 and Stowe joined in this year by conducting a clean-up of Downtown Stowe.  Seven volunteers came out to join in this first clean-up campaign organized by Dr. Claudia Wendell, O.D whose business is located along Broadway.  Claudia is also the Business Development Chair for the Stowe Business District Advisory Committee (BDAC).   

Fourteen bags of trash were cleaned up on Broadway and from the alleys behind the buildings on Broadway.  Thanks goes out to Claudia, Stowe Police Chief Frank Marciw; Marty Jacobs, Fire Chief; Logan McKnight, local student; McKees Rocks Assembly of God Pastor Jim and Kathy Tracey; and Ray Puskar, Organization Chair of the Stowe BDAC. 

The willingness and enthusiasm of the volunteers is appreciated! Another clean-up day will be planned for this fall.  Look for information in future e-newsletter issues and come out and join us in redding up Downtown Stowe.
