This category is designed to promote discussion on ways of developing and implementing a realistic Economic Revitalization plan for the southern Chester County region.

I've "seeded" this topic with the comment below, hoping to generate some discussion regarding what needs to be done, what changes need to take effect, and what should remain unchanged or untouched with respect to the regional economy. This particular thread has been receiving a substantial number of visits over the past few months --- 520 between the BLOG's inception in February, 2009, and Sepetmber 1, 2009 --- without having a single comment posted by anyone  We have offered one possible scenario for implementing regional economic improvements in the "Philosophy" page of our main web site; however, this certainly cannot be the only option available to the residents of this area. We would like to hear your views and suggestions. Please feel free to leave your comments, ask a question, or offer advice.

Please be advised that the same rules of conduct apply to every topic category; these rules may be found in the General Discussion category's "Welcome - Please Read" comments.

Thank you for taking your time to become involed in your community and region, and thank you for your interest in OATS!
