Cochranton: A Community for All Ages

ADAMS PLACE: Senior Housing Project

After many years of paperwork, contacting and contracting builders and engineers and cooperating with local authorities, not to mention all the troubleshooting along the way, CARE can proudly say that their mission goal of getting senior housing in Cochranton has been realized. Adams Place, built by Hudson Companies and with the full support of Senator Michele Brooks, boasts of 39 apartment units situated on the north end of town next to the Community Complex Center. Built with the farming community in mind, Adams Place embodies the Farm to Table concept with a greenhouse, six raised bed gardens and a fully functional Farm Kitchen to process what is grown. Additionally, the facility has a large front porch overlooking a landscaped water feature, a community room with a warming kitchen and fireplace, an exercise room, activity room, library and smart classroom.

The facility opened its doors June 1, 2021. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony took place on a sunny summer day, August 5, with the residents and many local and state dignitaries.

The Playground Project

In the Fall of 2016, CARE began a capital campaign to raise $50,000 to update the playground equipment at the community park.  To date, $44,000 has been raised giving the committee funds to replace the 70 year structures with new swings, slides, hopscotch boards and a large climbing net was completed in the summer of 2017.  The campaign continues to build momentum as plans to refurbish some old equipment, replace seesaws and mulch fall zones.

Cochranton Community Services Project

What was once the W.L. Dunn Construction Co. building is now the new home for the ONE Federal Credit Union, Cochranton Family Practice supporting 2 doctors and the Cochranton Community Pharmacy.  With the collaboration between the Economic Progress Alliance of Crawford County and CARE, the new facility has improved services to the community.

Creek Town status Project

French Creek is one of Cochranton's greatest assets. The Creek Town Program is a unique collaboration between local municipalities and the French Creek Valley Conservancy that seeks to create positive, sustainable economic growth based around the incredible value of French Creek. CARE seeks to develop our creek access point to encourage the use of the waterway.
