Wyeth property

Tonight, Borough Council's Planning, Zoning, Business and Industrial Development (PZBID) committee is going to discuss the future of the Wyeth property, which is about 30 acres of property located on East Union Street.

Before the meeting, it was still unclear what exactly would be discussed at the meeting. Councilman Charles Christy said in a phone interview Tuesday he hopes the possibility of having a baseball stadium at the property will be discussed. He also expressed some interest in the possibility of using part of the property for a recreation center in the future. Currently, the borough is considering paying for a feasibility study to see if residents actually want a recreation center, since the YMCA on East Chestnut Street is closing.

With the borough being virtually built out, the Wyeth property is one of the last pieces of land for any new development in West Chester.

For more information about the feasibility study, which was the focus of a council committee meeting Monday night, see Wednesday's edition of the Daily Local News. There will also be an article about the Wyeth discussion later in the week.
