I also wanted to post this video relevant to the potential for tourism development in Duncannon which was recently developed by the PA Wilds Initiative, a collaborative effort that aims to revitalize a 12 1/2-county area of rural Pennsylvania through nature and heritage tourism development. It outlines a strategy for community revitalization based on developing and promoting the natural, recreation and historic assets that make small towns and rural areas unique.
