WCU dorm project moving forward

Last night, Borough Council voted 6-to-0 to approve a conditional use application for the first phase of a dorm project at West Chester University. The two new dorms, if the other development applications are approved by the borough, will be built on North Campus, one near the Hollinger Field area and the other on an adjacent basketball court.

Though the project calls for most of WCU's current dorms to be torn down, officials that testified on behalf of the project said none of the dorms will be torn down during the first phase.
