POTTSTOWN, PA – Douglas Adams said “To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.” John A. (Jack) Koury, O’Donnell, Weiss, and Mattei Principal, has served both Pottstown Area Industrial Development (PAID), Inc. and the Pottstown community for decades. He has volunteered his time and provided exemplary counsel in an effort to further PAID’s mission of developing, coordinating and implementing an overall economic development strategy for the Borough of Pottstown. PAID has gone through a series of transitions of its corporate structure and areas of focus since its inception in 1965. Through multiple transitions, Jack was there guiding with his ever-steady hand and legal expertise. He served in multiple roles as President, Board Member and Solicitor of PAID’s Board. Perhaps most notably, he was responsible for writing the covenants for and was instrumental in the development and sale of the Pottstown Airport Business Campus now known as the Circle of Progress. In addition, Jack was a key voice in the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that laid the groundwork for PAID’s current organizational structure.
In this year of unfathomable changes, Jack Koury has stepped down as the official solicitor of PAID. The Board of Directors and the Executive Director owe him a debt of gratitude for serving selflessly with sincerity and integrity.
