The Route 1 Corridor of Southern Chester County stretches from Kennett Township to West Nottingham Township. Bounded by Route 1 to the north and the East Penn Railroad line to the south, the Corridor includes 12 municipalities and 4 school districts.
It is the mission of the individuals committed to the Route 1 EDI effort to promote a region that provides jobs, expands its tax base and invests in business districts. The aim is also to:
- Invite commerce and development, while protecting open space, the agricultural base and picturesque landscapes
- Attract new businesses, keeping the existing ones and maintaining the pastoral landscapes
The group of passionate and committed volunteers is governed by a Steering Committee whose objectives support the growth and development of a strong and vibrant economy.
