Butler’s efforts to revitalize its downtown and business district will be the focus of a Pennsylvania Cable Network program at 7 p.m. Sunday.

“Discover Main Street PA” will feature both Butler and Carlisle, Cumberland County, leading viewers on a tour of each community to showcase their revitalization efforts.

The hourlong program also will be shown at 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday.

It was filmed downtown on June 6 and will take a look at Butler’s history as the birthplace of the Jeep, its architecture and its businesses.

Michelle Harter, PCN spokeswoman, said, “We always try to look into what are some of the incentives for people to go downtown, businesses as well. A good example of that is the city’s new tax abatement program for businesses, which is mentioned in the show.

“It’s great to get out across the state and feature some of these great towns.”

Chelynne Curci, Butler Downtown’s Main Street manager, was happy with the filming of the show, and is excited to see the community featured statewide on television.

“It was a lot of fun filming all of last Thursday, and they seemed to like our town,” she said.

“The show’s goal is to introduce the rest of Pennsylvania to Main Street communities across the state and focus on what we have to offer.”

Butler Mayor Maggie Stock said she introduced the city in her cameo role, then tagged along for the rest of the shoot.

“(The TV crew) walked around and taped at Cummings Coffee and the (West New Castle Street) plaza, as well as a few other (locations downtown),” she said.

“The show also looks at the cooperation between a city and its Main Street program. We have a great working relationship. (Butler Downtown) has done tremendous work.”

Future segments of “Discover Main Street PA” will feature: Hamburg, Oil City, Ardmore, Easton, Waynesboro, West Chester, Kennett Square, Reading, Latrobe, Hollidaysburg, Lewistown and Ridgway.

Sixteen communities were selected by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center to be spotlighted on the program. The first episode, which debuted in May, featured Danville, Montour County, and Manheim, Lancaster County.

For those without access to cable, the programs will be available online during the network airing by subscribing to PCN Select at pcntv.com.

The Pennsylvania Downtown Center is a statewide nonprofit organization that promotes the revitalization of communities.
