The easiest way to be in the know.
It’s Friday, Sept. 19, 2025: It’s September, and we are celebrating all things autumn. Pumpkin spice lattes, street festivals, new tailgate experiences, and West Chester’s annual budgeting woes.

Why can’t we be more like our budget stable neighbors – and what Borough leaders are going to spend the next month doing about it.
