Let me ask you something…

What’s more valuable to a town fighting for its future:
✅ Fresh mulch and fountains in a park? —OR—
✅ A self-sustaining innovation hub that actually makes money and attracts talent like flies to honey?

Here in Johnstown, we just got handed a golden opportunity…

$6 million in covid grant money.

And what are we doing with it?
We’re planting trees?

Now, I love nature as much as the next guy. I walk the trails. I breathe the air. I’m not anti-park.

But we’re paving paradise and skipping the parking lot full of Tesla’s that could’ve pulled in—if we had built the right infrastructure.
Let me show you what I mean.

Imagine this:

In the heart of the Alleghenies, nestled where steel mills once roared,
a new kind of energy rises—code.

Instead of shovels and smokestacks, we’re laying down gigabit fiber,
instead of smokestack dreamers, we’re housing startup founders, software developers, and remote workers.

We call it: “CodeCrest Initiative: Located in Johnstown PA, The Jewel of The Allegheny’s”

A community of doers, makers, builders—
🌄 with a mountain view,
🏙️ affordable living,
🚀 and an entrepreneurial ecosystem rivaling Austin (before the price tag).

The Plan:

We buy up the downtown blocks that are dying slowly, fill them with
➡️ coworking labs,
➡️ rentable micro-lofts,
➡️ accelerators, bootcamps, venture meetups, and
➡️ a high-speed pipeline to investors hungry for East Coast innovation.

That $6 million could’ve made Johnstown the Appalachian Austin Texas.

But instead, we’re… adding birdbaths?

Look—this isn’t just about writing code.
It’s about growth that pays for itself.
Parks cost money. Tech hubs make money.
Which one builds your kids’ future?

There’s still time.
This email is the first of many.
e’re gathering support for CodeCrest Initiative.

No more throwing grant money into grass.

Let’s plant something that grows businesses, not just bushes.

You in?
