Don't Let Us Get in Your Way

So whether by inspiration, dedication or perspiration, Pottstown Borough Council saw the light and decided against opposing a zoning variance required to keep the Fecera's project moving forward.

Other interesting notes that bear a closer and more thorough look are:

• The announcement that the Phillies and North End Fire Companies have signed a partnership agreement;
• Ryan Procsal's announcement that Fire Chief Richard Lengel has put together plan in case of an accident with the oil trains rolling through town with greater frequency;
• That street sweeping won't start until the end of the month;
• That the price of the new borough garage keeps going up;
• And that the plans for erecting a station in Memorial Park for the Colebrookdale Railroad are moving along.
