Bill Godfrey of Natrona Comes Together, the grassroots neighborhood improvement group, says the group has a list of goals for this year for this aging, riverside neighborhood that’s nestled between two steel mills.

One is establishing a row-house museum on Federal Street.

The project would restore a row house to its original state and be operated by the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.

Residents have been donating artifacts to the proposed museum, but the discovery of a $6,000 tax lien on the property possibly could complicate the project.

A steel heritage sculpture is proposed for the corner of Federal and Blue Ridge Avenue.

Natrona Comes Together needs $1,300 to buy the vacant property.

The sculpture will resemble the coal miners’ memorial sculpture in the Harwick section of Springdale Township and will be sculpted by New Kensington native Steven Paulovich. The parklet will be managed by the Rivers of Steel Group, based in the Mon Valley.

Another project involves ongoing additions to the Natrona playground.

A concession stand, bike racks, landscaping and a horseshoe-pitching court are among the planned items for the $142,000 federal grant.

Godfrey’s group hopes to have the former bank building renovated to the point where it could be sold, rented or leased to a private business.

The Natrona group also hopes to get AmeriCorps members to help manage the park and mow grass on vacant properties in the community.
