Attracting new businesses, keeping existing ones and maintaining the pastoral landscape of Southern Chester County are the objectives of the Southern Chester County Route 1 Business Corridor Committees. The group of passionate and committed volunteers is governed by a Steering Committee whose objectives reinforce one of the priority commitments outlined in the County’s strategic plan – to support the growth and development of a strong and vibrant economy.

The Route 1 Corridor stretches from Kennett Township to West Nottingham Township. Bounded by Route 1 to the north and the East Penn Railroad line to the south, this corridor includes 12 municipalities and 4 school districts. It is the mission of the committee to promote a region that provides jobs, expands it tax base and invests in business districts. The aim is also to attract commerce and development while protecting the region’s agricultural base and picturesque landscapes.
