LEONARD LIGHTNER- NORRISTOWN MUNICIPAL MANAGER
Last Thursday, the Club was very fortunate to have as a guest speaker, the Norristown Municipal Manager, Leonard Lightner, who gave an update of the activities that his administration has been dealing with this year. He listed some of the highlights including The special election coming up on May 20 ,for open seats on the commission; State Hospital rezoning allowing for light manufacturing in the open space; and work on the Zoo new master plan for new land use.
The Zoning Board has also been busy with re-use of the Rosevelt Field area which wink be part of the Zoo expansion plus a community center, and a continued discussion of the unsheltered problem in Norristown which will include a new temporary transitional housing shelter to be created. Other projects include working in the creek banks to reduce flooding, repurposing the old PAL center for community use, and the search for a new police chief.
Thank you , Leonard for taking the time to bring this update to us.
