Chadds Ford Supervisors Garry Paul and George Thorpe gave brief updates on township matters to members of the Chadds Ford Business Association during an April breakfast meeting.
Paul said the township renewed the temporary sign ordinance allowing for extra signs. He also said the township is debt free, with increased holdings, while holding the same tax rate for the past three years.
Thorpe reminded members that the Brandywine Battlefield Park has reopened to the public, but still faces uncertainty. He said the state, which owns the park, is paying for maintenance and utilities, but it’s up to the Friends of the Brandywine Battlefield Park to raise operational money.
Delaware County and neighboring Delaware County townships have been donating to the park, but Chester County has not. He said the only Chester County township that has made any donation is Pennsbury Township.
CFBA President Emily Myers told members that the association is working on two initiatives to help business growth. One initiative involves upgrading the CFBA Web site so that members can update their own information. The other is working with the township to develop welcoming signs along Route 1 that inform motorists about local businesses.
Michael Majewski, managing partner of Brandywine Prime, described plans for two signs the village area of the township. He requested businesses interested in being on the sign to contact him.
(Full disclosure: Myers is also the publisher of ChaddsFordLive.com)
