Community development involves responding to the needs of residents and their communities in Coatesville through building on their strengths and capacity by providing technical and advisory assistance regarding revitalization, infrastructure planning, economic and community development, and long-range comprehensive planning. Community development also involves providing advice, information and planning for successful projects and programs by encouraging a cooperative climate between residents, public and private organizations, agencies and the religious community and advising and assisting organizations to improve and expand services, resources and events to raise the quality of life of citizens and attract people to the City of Coatesville.

Community development in Coatesville includes the City’s Weed and Seed Program.
Through Coatesville’s Weed and Seed Program, residents can get involved in their community through the AID and TALL Teams to work towards making life better for themselves, their neighbors, and for the City. Various organizations, agencies and religious organizations within Coatesville and the surrounding vicinity are members of the AID (Assistance for Impact Delegation) Team. The TALL (Target Area Local Leadership) Team is comprised of people in the community who possess leadership qualities and are taught how to champion pertinent issues of their communities and neighborhoods on a grass-roots level. These members are encouraged to partner with each other and with other agencies in order to achieve community bonding and social cohesion within the City.

Such partnerships with the community provides opportunity for physical, emotional, educational, economic and social growth to improve the public infrastructure and services to enhance the quality of life of individuals, strengthen neighborhoods, and empower families.
