bricks that are personalized with the names of local businesses,
present communitiy members, or loved ones who have passed so that
they may be remembered by the future generations of Tyrone. Read

Downtown Tyrone - Vision Statement
The Borough of Tyrone, a proud and friendly community along Amtrak’s
main-line, adjacent to Interstate-99 and nestled along the bank
of the Little Juniata River and Bald Eagle Creek, is located in
dynamic and growing central Pennsylvania.
The economy of the region is increasingly invigorated by the educational
institutions and research facilities affiliated with Penn State
University and related private businesses.
The people who make up the workforce that operates, supports and
utilizes this system of higher education recognize the Borough
of Tyrone as a valuable element of this regional economy.
The Borough of Tyrone is a community “where quality of life
comes first” with safe, affordable, enjoyable small town
living at a comfortable pace. Good schools, great access and historic
housing enhance this quality of life.
Within this community, Downtown Tyrone endures as the heart of
the Borough.
Visitors and tourists find Downtown Tyrone both quaint and inviting,
with a growing mix of specialty retail shops, family-oriented dining
and varied lodging opportunities.
Recreation and heritage tourists embrace Downtown Tyrone as a
home-away-from-home. During this time, they journey to regional
hunting, fishing, and hiking venues while they learn about and
explore the nearby historic assets.
Downtown Tyrone serves as the business and civic center of the
Borough for its diverse residential base of professionals, seniors,
young couples, and established families.
With an attractive streetscape, rehabilitated storefronts and
a renewed riverfront, a strong and prosperous central business
district provides for the convenience retail, business and personal
services, and governmental/institutional/spiritual needs of the
community’s residents on a daily basis.
The downtown’s desirability as both a residential address
and business location is strengthened by the community’s
commitment to insure access to the best available technology linking
the commercial core to the rest of the global village.
This downtown, this Borough and this community are able to grow
and prosper within this environment, where a true “sense
of place” is nurtured by the town’s greatest asset – the
cooperative, involved, friendly, and caring people of Tyrone.
