The site of the old welcome center across from the former Sears parking lot is going to look a lot different!
From the Daily Times:
Imagine for a moment a vibrant, clean, well-lit community building with rooftop views of the city designed to stimulate growth for surrounding businesses. On Thursday, Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer announced a $1 million grant from the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program for just such a place, a planned Upper Darby Community Center.
The grant will enable the project to move from the study phase to site preparation and will replace the current multi-purpose welcome center located at 7000 Walnut St.
“Now more than ever, our kids need a safe place to play and learn after school,” said Keffer. “This center represents a critical, and long overdue, step for our community. It will send the signal that Upper Darby is on the move as a forward-looking destination community for families and businesses alike.”
