Join Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization and Sharpsburg Emergency Management in our efforts to help all residents be better prepared in case of an emergency. Please complete the survey that will potentially help identify areas for future projects that could assist all residents, including elder adults and those with disabilities.

Riverfront Development Community Meetings
SNO has hosted 3 community listening & feedback sessions with the riverfront development team in late 2021 and early 2022. These meetings gave the Sharpsburg community an opportunity to see and hear development plans, provide feedback, and share ideas for what they would like to see in the project. You can view the January virtual meeting and learn more about the project here.
The Sharpsburg Sustainability & Civic Engagement Center at 511 S. Main St.
Home to SNO's day-to-day operations as well as workshops and community organizing around local and regional issues, the Sharpsburg Sustainability & Civic Engagement serves as a civic hub and welcoming space for residents and other Sharpsburg stakeholders to share information, learn about topics that interest them and affect their quality of life, and work together to advance community priorities.
Centered on social equity and community resilience, the Sharpsburg Sustainability & Civic Engagement hosts workshops on topics ranging from stormwater management to getting involved with your local government, first-time homebuying, bike/pedestrian infrastructure, green space, community gardening, and more. Got an idea for a community project and want to figure out how to make it happen? Have some questions about life in Sharpsburg or want to share feedback or get involved in issue you care about? Make an appointment or request to use our space for your community project by contacting us.
The building was made possible by a catalytic grant from the Hillman Foundation to the Triboro Ecodistrict. Funding also came from UPMC Health Plan and First National Bank through a Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Neighborhood Assistance Program grant.
Sharpsburg Main & Canal Walking Route
In partnership with PA WalkWorks and the American Heart Association, and thanks to funding from Giant Eagle, in 2018 we cut the ribbon on a new 1.83-mile sidewalk walking route that highlights many of the historic and recreational assets of our borough. Today, the Sharpsburg Walkers team tracks its steps through the Walker Tracker app, competing with teams across Pennsylvania, and we're always looking for people interested in leading walking group outings around the route. For more information and to sign up, contact Brittany@sharpsburgneighborhood.org or visit the PA WalkWorks site.
Sharpsburg Blight Reduction Recommendations Report
In November 2016, SNO kicked off its first resident working group, dedicated to addressing resident concerns about vacant blighted properties and improving property conditions throughout Sharpsburg, in partnership with Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group. The volunteer group analyzed Sharpsburg blight and property survey data, studied best practices in blight remediation from across the country, and in spring 2017 developed a five-year resident-driven blight reduction plan to be implemented by SNO and supporting partners.
