About Quakertown Alive!
Quakertown Alive! (QA!) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community development Main Street organization based on the 4-point approach developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Founded in 1998, our mission is to create strong broad-based partnerships that provide the leadership and resources necessary for a successful revitalization effort in downtown Quakertown, PA, resulting in an enhanced quality of life for all in and around the Borough.
Volunteers are at the core of our activities which are managed through our standing committees.
The Design Committee provides
education, design/planning advice, and motivation to help maintain and enhance the physical aesthetics of downtown Quakertown as a place that is attractive to shoppers, investors, and business owners.
The Economic Restructuring Committee identifies economic development strategies for downtown Quakertown, performs market research, promotes
new uses for historic commercial buildings, and encourages investment in downtown properties and businesses.
The Events Committee’s focus is on creating, planning, and implementing events that promote downtown Quakertown. Currently there are three events: Arts Alive, an arts and crafts festival that happens in May, Autumn Alive, a heritage-themed festival that happens in October, and a holiday tree lighting in December.
The Marketing Committee promotes the identity of downtown Quakertown as a place to shop, eat, work, and play in order to improve customer and investor confidence and draw new visitors to the area. It also conducts surveys, gathers data, and manages communications for the organization.
Our offices are at 15 Front Street in the Quakertown Train Station (215) 536-2273.
