Henry D. Sahakian, a prominent local businessman, philanthropist and one of the most influential figures in the State College area’s development over the past 60 years, died on Feb. 23 in State College at the age of 84.
Sahakian’s many residential and commercial building projects have played a major role in shaping downtown State College and the rest of Centre Region as Penn State and the surrounding community rapidly grew in the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st.
