Downingtown Advocate Seeks Solutions to Chronic Flooding

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — Barry Cassidy, a civic advocate in Downingtown, is pushing for solutions to persistent flooding issues, which he believes have been worsened by silt accumulation following the 2018 demolition of an upstream dam. Cassidy has requested thorough environmental testing before the scheduled removal of the Route 30 bridge and emphasized the flooding's severe impact on the community, particularly low- to middle-income residents. Cassidy's efforts include collaboration with PennDOT and local residents to address the problem. The Downingtown Resilience Fund, formed in response to Hurricane Ida's devastation, aims to mitigate flood damage by creating wetlands and executing property buyouts in vulnerable areas. The Fund also seeks to improve flood insurance options and ensure comprehensive floodplain management through community participation and regulatory efforts.
