Susquehanna Community Development Association
The SCDA was formed October 2001 in order to improve the community through
beautification projects, business revival and efforts to increase the participation
in community betterment by the residents of the town. The Susquehanna Community Development Association
has partnered with the Susquehanna Borough, The Trehab Center and the PA Department of Community and
Economic Development to help revitalize our business district and designated "Elm St" neighborhoods
that surround our downtown. Our organization is made up of volunteers who help in all areas of
community renewal. Some our committees include: Parks & Rec, Garden Club, Events (Hometown Days,
Tree Lighting and breakfast with Santa), Harvest of the Arts, Neighborhood and Economics and Safe Clean and Green.
