Yet another application

Eli Kahn isn't the only developer who has submitted an application for a larger development project in the borough just before council approves a new height ordinance.

It was announced during council's voting session Wednesday night that First National Bank of Chester County has turned in an application for a 99-fot building on East Market Street, on the north side, west of Walnut Street.

Council will discuss the application in August.

It remains to be seen if anymore developers will submit applications before the height ordinance is approved. Council members hoped to vote on the new height ordinance this week, but are not expected to resume the hearing in August, so the Chester County Planning Commission can review the ordinance, as required by state law.
