One of the first self-identifying “Smart Growth Communities” of the past decade, Latrobe has transformed itself via strong leadership and the capacity of a robust revitalization organization, Latrobe Community Revitalization.
Throughout this time, the Smart Growth Partnership has been engaged — building capacity by providing education support and funding acquisition assistance, and as a go-to partner in community initiatives. The Smart Growth Partnership’s first Executive Director even became Latrobe’s municipal manager for a time to help in kick-starting the transformation!
