Coatesville Train Station
In collaboration with Chester County, CCEDC is leading a Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) project that includes a new train station
for the City of Coatesville, a key component in the revitalization of its
downtown. In addition to the new station, the project includes the
conversion of the existing station building and streetscape improvements
on ird Avenue (the connector to downtown).
e Coatesville Train Station project is part of a larger effort to upgrade
and enhance the Amtrak stations on the Keystone Corridor from
Harrisburg to Philadelphia. Amtrak’s Keystone Corridor stations in
Chester County serve almost 400,000 riders annually.
Route 1 Economic Development Initiative
Led by CCEDC, twelve municipalities, five subcommittees and over
100
individuals are working to reduce the impediments to development
in a well defined corridor that stretches from Kennett Township to
West NottinghamTownship.
