We are committed to the revitalization of our riverfront as a destination place for the region-there's a lot going on now and more is coming! Norristown's EPA Brownfields Community Wide Assessment grants totaling $800,000 have allowed for the completion of key environmental studies critical to the redevelopment of riverfront properties. As property along the riverfront is readied for redevelopment, the path forward for a thriving riverfront is also underway.
Work began on a Riverfront Redevelopment Planning and Feasibility Study spring 2017. The study provides a comprehensive vision for Norristown's Riverfront by investigating both redevelopment opportunities and existing constraints to development, integrating results of related redevelopment and revitalization studies, connecting downtown Norristown to the Riverfront and trail system, and engaging the community in a public participation process. The study develops preliminary design options and promotional plans for the riverfront!
Zoning
We continue to review the zoning requirements along the riverfront to ensure the implementation of our riverfront vision.
