Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Norristown public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
5 issues in development with medium priority
Proposed twin-home development at 1400-1408 Powell Street
A developer wants to combine four vacant lots on Powell Street and build two semi-attached twin homes — four new units. Neighbors may care about density, driveway access off Powell Street, and how the new construction fits the block.
Upcoming Municipal Development Projects
Commissioners previewed upcoming projects for the year, including redevelopment around the Nat Lake area and the local zoo expansion.
Trail Development
Montgomery County just broke ground on the Trail Junction Center in Norristown, adding new walking and biking paths to make getting around town a breeze. It's a huge win for anyone trying to ditch the car and get outside.
Prison Redevelopment
Norristown residents are keeping the pressure on local council members during public meetings to finally do something with the old Airy Street prison. This long-abandoned property has become a major headache and a hot-button topic for anyone who wants to see our neighborhood revitalized.
Courtesy Development
Montgomery County just approved a huge $430 million Justice Center right in downtown Norristown, and it's going to completely change the vibe and landscape of the area.
