POTTSTOWN, PA December 10, 2024 – Economic development encompasses many aspects…blighted buildings, zoning variances, grants and funding, licenses and codes, workforce and employment resources. The list is endless and requires a balance between “the big picture” and “attention to all the details”. Revitalization for long-term growth and sustainability requires knowledge, persistence, and patience. Events and celebrations are another aspect of economic revitalization and the process of progress. They bring a sense of community and hope for what is to come. Each year on the first Saturday of December, PAED hosts Santa Saturday & Annual Tree Lighting in the Borough of Pottstown.
