Open Space Summit Planned

Chester County residents are invited to attend the Chester County Open Space Summit, which will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, at the Lenfest Center at ChesLen Preserve, 1199 Cannery Road, Coatesville.

The celebration will mark the 30th anniversary of the open space preservation program in Chester County. It will also include a presentation on the economic value of protected open spaces and the economic, environmental, and public health benefits to surrounding communities. Open spaces include public parks, preserved farmland, and private conserved lands.

Presenters will share the results of a study titled "Return on Environment: The Economic Value of Protected Open Space in Chester County." The study was conducted through a partnership of county departments, land conservancies, and economic development agencies.
