The easiest way to be in the know.

Upgrade | Hello podcast

It’s Friday, July 25, 2025: What would downtown West Chester look like if it extended past Matlack St and encompassed the industrial parcels down E. Gay and Market Streets? Would the walk along High St. be less trash-ridden if the Business District took over the blocks between Miner and Price St.? As it looks for another five-year authorization, Downtown West Chester wants to bring its proven recipe of events, marketing, and beautification to more areas of the Borough, but not all businesses there believe that’s what they need.

Also, West Chester shares its plans to mitigate traffic issues in its northeast quadrant, West Goshen unveils its new fleet of solar panels, two new (free) family-friendly events, and West Chester’s retail scene is finally getting a little respect. Plus, an update on last weekend’s fire at Peirce Middle School.

Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
