The future for Beaver Falls is pushing forward.

Beaver Falls city manager Charles “Mick” Jones joined Matt Drzik on the April 28 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss the latest developments in the 15010 zip code. The city adopted a home rule charter government in January, and Jones says that the transition has been moving smoothly so far: “Surprisingly it’s gone very well. I had the uniqueness of not just having a unique style of government change, but a whole government change within the same period of time. But everything’s been working great.”

Jones also pointed out that the city is gearing up for several events throughout the warm-weather months of 2022. The Beaver Falls Car Cruise is returning on June 11 and has been in planning for several months, and Jones showed his support for the city staff who help put it all together. He also is hoping that there will be community events at the new Library Park when construction and development are finally completed later in 2022. “Even if it’s starting to have flurries,” Jones stated, “we’re going to do something here,” hinting at the possibility of hosting Christmas events in Library Park.
