Food trucks can have many benefits for urban centers.

Director and Zoning Officer David Boelker spoke about how consumers have shifted their spending habits toward more online shopping these days versus brick-and-mortar stores. As a result, when people go out in their spare time, “they want experiences,” he said. Urban Centers Forums have been conducted since the development of VISTA 2025, the County’s economic development strategy. The forums are the result of a partnership involving the Chester County Commissioners, the County Department of Community Development, the County Planning Commission, and the Chester County Economic Development Council. The Planning Commission is implementing projects in Landscapes3 that will help the boroughs and City of Coatesville such as an Urban Centers Design Guide. In addition, the Vision Partnership Program (VPP) is available for all municipalities in Chester County, including urban centers, to help improve their planning programs while achieving consistency with

Landscapes3. View more information about the VPP: https:// www.chescoplanning.org/municorner/vpp.cfm. County Department of Community Development Director Pat Bokovitz noted that urban centers can apply for Chester County Community Revitalization Program (CRP) grant opportunities for infrastructure improvements.
