Development 

In recent months, the Department has sought to increase awareness and understanding of the wide variety of private and public development projects within the Borough. The website has been updated to provide up to date summaries, drawings and when available, renderings of the projects. New Projects Under Review, Approved, and Borough Capital Projects are all highlighted and updated as they progress through the specified Planning Process. The projects page can be found here: https://phoenixville.org/2518/Projects
