Flats Reuse and Waterfront Project
A Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) Download Studies General Background on Project "The City of Coatesville seeks to re-establish itself as a vital 'Urban Center" in Chester County, providing a mix of housing options, employment opportunities and services to its residents, while enhancing the ability to attract future economic investment." One key strategy that the City is examining to help achieve this vision is the development of a riverwalk and cycle path along the West Branch of the Brandywine Creek. To help facilitate this effort the City of Coatesville, with the support of the DVRPC, examined the feasibility of developing a multi-use Riverwalk trail to take advantage of the views and recreational aspects of the creek, support inter-modal transportation opportunities, contribute to the redevelopment of the Central Business District, and facilitate the adaptive reuse of "The Flats" area... a collection of vacant, blighted properties within a former steel facility area in the heart of the city.
