It was a true honor to be asked by Scott Reilly if we would share a little bit of our story with him. Jennifer Wiles-Cook and I are so excited to share this video that he has put together as part one of several. As we continue our vision of revitalization. This has not been an easy journey and we are still walking through the fire. But God. We have hope for the city we have hope for revitalization. It is time to change the perception of Altoona. Is time to start living in Joy.
