POTTSTOWN, PA – By this point, who hasn’t heard of the First Suburbs Project?  Just about every local blog and The Mercury are all talking about it.  As well they should – the success of this project directly affects all of us in Pottstown.

If you don’t know what the First Suburbs Project is all about, make a point to attend tomorrow night’s 7:00 meeting at MCCC Western Campus in Pottstown.  Here’s a flyer promoting the meeting:
