1991
The post-World War II decline of American cities, visited upon Harrisburg and resulting in three decades of serious loss and deterioration, has been reversed in Harrisburg's "Second Renaissance" commemorated with this tablet. The late 20th century viability of urban community life has been established. Considered one of the most distressed cities in the United States in 1980, Harrisburg's rekindled vision and progress, reflected by over $900,000,000 in new investments from 1982 through 1991, resulted in attaining the nation's top community award... all American city designation... in 1985 and 1990. |
