Commercial Property Revitalization is an EAG collaborative program that aims to invest in the renovation of blighted commercial properties in the Mahoning Valley. CPR assists in providing knowledge and resources to promote the growth and expansion of local businesses in formerly blighted spaces – which positively impacts both individual neighborhoods, city, and the region as a whole.
