Corry Affluent Recession Defies Local Slump in Housing
Corry appears to dodge recession with a housing surge fueled by state and federal funding. Eight private homes built in 1975 contrast with 50 units on South Center Street and 30 elderly apartments planned in Fourth Ward Urban Renewal. Additional 32 units possible on Sciota Street and 48 more apartments planned atop Spring Street Hill. Unemployment around 1,000, with federal state aid totaling up to 111 dollars for a single, plus 8 for a spouse and dependents, tax free and lasting up to 65 weeks. Retail growth remains robust with Kentucky Fried Chicken, Red Barn, Stop ’n’ Go, BOF Steak House, Corry Stationers, and Steve Young Electronics opening, plus a large plant addition up to 60,000 square feet and ongoing city sewer upgrades and downtown renewal.
