Phoenixville Library funding shortfall
The library lost about $200,000 a year when it could no longer process passports. It's asking the Borough (and other municipalities and the school district) to raise funding to $2 per resident over four years — or it will cut hours from 51 to 45 a week and leave staff positions unfilled.
French Creek Trail extension easement
The Borough accepted an easement over about 13 acres along French Creek behind the Giant and Tommy's Car Wash — the first big step toward extending the French Creek Trail and possibly bridging it to Veterans Park. Grants will be needed for bridges, but this shows other landowners the trail connection is serious.
