WHAT: Rep. Scott Petri (R-Bucks), chairman of the House Urban Affairs Committee, will hold a public hearing in Chester County that will focus on issues involving blight, including code enforcement and the redevelopment of blighted properties in the Commonwealth. Recent laws, enacted to address blight and its impact on public safety, property values and local tax revenue, have given municipalities additional tools to put blighted properties back into re-use and on the tax rolls. The committee is being hosted by Rep. Harry Lewis (R-Chester).
WHO: Petri, Lewis and other members of the committee; Dave Sciocchetti, urban development consultant, Chester County Economic Development; Michael Trio, city manager Coatesville; Sonia Huntzinger, economic development administrator; Joshua Young, commissioner, Caln Township; Kristin Camp, supervisor, Caln Township; Jack Assetto, manager, Parkesburg Business Association; James Thomas, manager, Parkesburg Borough; and Kim Venzie, Esquire.
