• 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.
