Impact Corry is reinventing rural through collaborative community, economic, and civic development.

Every community needs a go-to organization…one that’s always looking for new opportunities, and is flexible and adaptable enough to respond when those opportunities present themselves. In Corry, Pennsylvania, that go-to organization is Impact Corry. Impact Corry is a catalyst of transformational outcomes that position Corry, Pennsylvania, for growth in opportunities, prosperity, and civic engageme

nt through cooperation and collaboration with community members, organizations and governmental agencies as well as regional and national partners. As a Rural Development Hub Organization, Impact Corry serves as a liaison, listener and an agent of change to promote region-wide community development and growth through informed decision-making.

“It is a new day in Corry, PA” for grassroots activism and collaboration. Corry is rallying because its people are innovators, artists, and strong individuals bound by adversity and fierce community pride. The people of Corry have come together because they realize that a successful city is more precious than anything that divides us. Though the challenges are great, so are the efforts to meet them.
