News of an impending sweep to a stretch of land along the Schuylkill River Trail has circulated throughout Pottstown. Signs posted along the trail last month alerted some 25 homeless individuals residing on the borough-owned property that they have to leave the area by Dec. 1.
Two recent meetings on the progress of plans to return passenger rail service showed that Pottstown is stepping up to be ready should this be the time that passenger rail finally returns to the Schuylkill Valley.
