This project, awaiting approval in June, is a key part of Coatesville’s broader revitalization strategy. Other significant developments include the National Sports and Events Center, a $50 million complex on West Lincoln Highway. The Planning Commission’s decision, expected on June 12, will determine whether construction on the Brandywine View Apartments will begin this fall.

Residents Urged to Avoid Beaver Creek Amid Construction

CALN TWP, PA — Caln Township is recommending that residents and their pets steer clear of certain sections of Beaver Creek in Lloyd Park due to construction activities tied to the Aqua Infrastructure project. The project involves directional drilling beneath Beaver Creek near the Lloyd Avenue bridge. Although there is no immediate environmental risk, previous projects in similar geological conditions have sometimes affected waterways.

Officials emphasize the importance of avoiding the construction area to ensure public safety. The township is closely monitoring the situation and advises the community to report any signs of potential spills to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, which offers round-the-clock support.
