A current project is the establishment of an Art Museum in the Flatiron Building to commemorate, Frank L. Melega, a local national renowned multi-talented artist. This is made possible through a grant from the local philanthropic Eberly Foundation.

Plans are forming to establish a Steamboat Museum to commemorate the history of boat buildings in Brownsville.  Boat buildings have been an important part of Brownsville's history from the eighteenth century until 1996, when the last barge building facility left the area.  The Steamboat museum is recommended in the plan provided by Makin Engineering Company for the Steel Industry Corporation and will complement their 'Rivers of Steel' journeys to sites along the Monongahela River.  The Monongahela River Conservation Plan lists the river on the state's PA
River Registry.  More information to come.
