The city became a busy retail center with four major shopping centers that eventually gave birth to several other shops that are still standing in the present day. Greensburg’s historic small-town charm, scenic landscape and promising business atmosphere make it a great place to live. In fact, it has been named as one of the state’s “Best Places to Retire” in 2007.
