The Westmoreland Heritage Trail has been a catalyst for transforming places all along its corridor throughout central Westmoreland, from Trafford, to Murrysville, to Export, and on to Slickville, Salem Township, Loyalhanna Township and finally Saltsburg. As part of a vision for an even larger regional and statewide trail network, the opportunities are immense for all communities along this new trail and greenway.
Leaders in Delmont approached the Smart Growth Partnership to help them become one of the prominent communities making the most of this new asset. Through a Jack Robertshaw Fellowship and guidance by Smart Growth Partners’ expertise and collaboration, a Delmont Visionary Committee has formed among the local citizens, and recognition of the community’s historic district assets and trail town possibilities have moved forward.
