The website is sponsored by Our Haven Foundation (OHF) – a 501 C3 community organization; discoverschuylkillhaven.com celebrated its first anniversary in July of 2020. 

The website’s purpose: to “broadcast the good news” targeting residents and tourists about the latest happenings with the honorable goal of promoting the benefits of living in – and visiting – our Borough.

The website is managed by Cotts Inc. Direct Marketing, which provides its partners with network support and training.

How did it begin?

Lisa Robinson is an OHF board member who has dedicated her considerable experience and talents in support of revitalizing Downtown Schuylkill Haven  and recognizing the importance of working in concert with other nonprofit organizations/businesses that advocate “strong partnerships and community activism” for the benefit of residents who live in – and tourists that visit -- the Greater Schuylkill Haven Area (not just the Central Business District).

During a summer 2019 strategy session, the OHF Board unanimously approved Lisa’s proposal to launch discoverschuylkillhaven.com.

Lisa Robinson is a full-time Instructor of Business at Penn State Schuylkill and the World Campus. She has been granted authorization to proceed with a research project designed to identify the obstacles and opportunities associated with community renewal-related initiatives and programs.
