After the weather postponed the first attempt, the Pottstown Downtown Improvement District Authority held its annual meeting with merchants Thursday night.

Merchants were briefed on upcoming events, asked to remit their "assessments" in a timely manner, warned that they need to clear the spaces in front of their stores of obstructions if they want the plows to clear their parking spaces.

Further, Police Chief Rick Drumheller addressed the audience of about 25 on the police efforts to keep downtown safe.

Also, Parks and Recreation Director Michael Lenhart briefed merchants about upcoming events for the bicentennial celebration of the borough's incorporation and invited them to get involved.
