Chester at a Crossroads: What’s Next, Together?
Join us for a community conversation led by the WHYY News Community & Engagement team as part of the Bridging Blocks series, bringing neighbors together in dialogue around Chester’s future.
Chester residents are navigating major community challenges, including the loss of local hospital access, air quality concerns, public health issues, and redevelopment, while also being home to major regional assets such as the Philadelphia Union’s stadium and the nation’s largest trash-to-energy facility.
Is Chester moving toward sustained investment and opportunity, or continuing to carry costs tied to other communities’ progress? What strengths, solutions, and community-led efforts already in place deserve greater visibility and investment? What could a thriving future, shaped by Chester residents, look like?
Bridging Blocks is a series of neighborhood discussions designed to bring together culturally and politically diverse households for civic dialogue and understanding. This program is presented in partnership with The Free Library of Philadelphia, PECO, and WHYY.
Free and open to the public.
