DOWNINGTOWN, PA — East Caln Township, in collaboration with the Downingtown Municipal Water Authority, is undertaking a project to replace the Skelp Level Road Bridge and reposition a key water main serving the area.

West Whiteland Unveils $14.6 Million Public Works Facility

WEST WHITELAND TWP — On Monday, West Whiteland Township unveiled a new 39,000-square-foot public works facility, completed within a year for $14.6 million. The project consolidates three outdated buildings into a single, modern space with indoor storage for vehicles and equipment, offices, and meeting areas. Previously stored outdoors, the township’s equipment will now be protected, extending its lifespan and cutting repair costs. A forthcoming solar array will supply power to the facility and nearby township offices, emphasizing sustainability. Funded by property sales, bonds, and $1.3 million in state grants, the facility is expected to boost efficiency and support the township’s growth.
