Downtown Bellefonte Inc., an organization dedicated to the economic growth and vitality of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, seeks short-term housing that reflects a long-term stay for up to six remote workers starting July 2022 for approximately 2-4 weeks.
As part of the Wilds Are Working, an initiative with The Pennsylvania Wilds and Ben Franklin Technology Partners that was funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission, Bellefonte has been selected to host remote workers, allowing them to try out living, working and giving. The opportunity will highlight the community’s coworking and collaboration facilities, nearby recreation opportunities and public lands, and rural quality of life. Long term, it is the organizations’ goal that after remote working in the PA Wilds for a short stay, some of these remote workers will ultimately decide to move to the PA Wilds region and become an active member of the community.
