Kennett Square

Kennett Township and Kennett Square Borough governance priorities focus on infrastructure development and housing accessibility. Recent key initiatives include substantial federal sewer system funding ($900,000+), residential project escrow releases (Montchanin Builders' Enclave at Longwood Preserve), and active planning for affordable housing through zoning review of accessory dwelling units. Recurring governance themes include fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets without tax increases), environmental stewardship through dedicated advisory councils, and transparent public engagement via hybrid meetings and comprehensive Right-to-Know compliance. The municipalities demonstrate coordinated governance infrastructure with specialized boards (Zoning Hearing Board, Planning Commission, Environmental Advisory Council) and operational efficiency—notably completing certification programs for township management staff.
