📰 News we're reading

• 2026 Engineering Leader Under 40: Matthew Holman, 39 (controleng.com) — An Exton-based engineering leader, Matthew Holman of Actemium Avanceon, is recognized nationally for developing future-focused industrial automation and cybersecurity talent. His work in Exton centers on mentoring engineers, building cross-training and leadership programs, and helping manufacturers modernize operations, which also highlights the area's role as a hub for advanced engineering careers and high-skilled jobs.
   

• East Bradford Puts Preservation Ahead of Commercial Growth (mychesco.com) — East Bradford Township leaders describe how they're preserving open space and limiting big commercial growth even as nearby hubs like Exton, West Chester, and Downingtown expand. For Exton-area residents, that means more regional shopping and jobs nearby, while East Bradford stays largely residential and green, focusing on trails, stormwater fixes, and aging infrastructure instead of large new developments.
