The Millcreek Township General Authority is taking a step forward in the process to revitalize the Presque Isle Gateway District. 

The authority is launching a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to attract qualified developers for the anchor properties along West 8th Street and Peninsula Drive. 

The goal of the project is to redefine the entrance to Presque Isle State Park. The park is the most visited state park in Pennsylvania. 

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a walkable, vibrant destination that benefits both residents and visitors,” says Matthew Waldinger, Executive Director of the Millcreek Township General Authority. “By investing in the Gateway District, we’re not just improving infrastructure—we’re creating a hub for small businesses, entertainment, and community engagement that will drive long-term economic growth.”

RFQ submissions are due by May 15, 2025.
