River Towns Program
The Susquehanna Greenway River Towns Program is designed to help communities enhance and build meaningful relationships to the Susquehanna Greenway and connect to a larger system of support and inspiration. Our collaborative program works with communities to build leadership teams, galvanize support, navigate the planning process, and identify community-sourced programs and projects that will strengthen these connections.
