Maybe with a list of businesses that has left to take to your officials and ask them what they have ever done to replace any of them,I agree nothing will change,As I stated before, Kittanning will always be a retirement town. I had to leave to find a job to support my family and now I have returned to retire. Really what is here or what not is here dont bother me, But I wouldent want to see some one else pull up roots as I did and have to leave their home and family for fifteen years, I think it would be good to let the one's responsable know just what has left this area,But Im sure they already do
