Montco 2040:
a shared vision
27
Arts and culture facilities will remain a focal point for communities along
the Lansdale/Doylestown line. Transit oriented development is also
important.
Business parks, like FortWashington,
King of Prussia, and Bala Cynwyd, as
well as the formerWillow Grove Naval
Air Station can become new, mixed use
community focal and gathering places.
Downtown areas in the eastern part of
the county can take advantage of nearby
wealth by providing restaurant, specialty
shop, and entertainment options.
The Perkiomen Trail and county park system are key
assets for communities along the Perkiomen Creek.
Pottstown’s revitalization can take
advantage of the arts, the Schuylkill River
trail, the community college, and new
entertainment venues.
Norristown, as the county seat, is a
priority for revitalization. With its Arts
Hill festival, the extension of Lafayette
Street, future trail junction, and riverfront
redevelopment opportunities, Norristown
is poised for significant redevelopment.

Municipalities without
their own libraries
or a county library
branch building might
want to increase
library access for their
residents.
Any new library
buildings should
be designed as
community focal
points, preferably
in centrally-located
walkable locations
near residents and
commercial centers.
Communities along the Schuylkill River,
like Royersford and Bridgeport, should
continue reclaiming their riverfronts and
creating connections to the county trail
system.
