To date, two businesses in downtown Emporium have completed a facade update and two more are underway. Business owners are assisted with their facade improvements through a grant from the Department of Community and Economic Development. This DCED grant, in cooperation with the Sylvan Heritage Council, the Cameron County IDA, the County of Cameron, the Emporium Borough, and the business owners will help upgrade 7 downtown businesses.
