Chester Valley Trail West Meeting

The Chester County Planning Commission is inviting residents, business owners, and various stakeholders in western Chester County to attend the final public meeting about a plan to extend the popular Chester Valley Trail westward across the county.

The goal of this study is to identify a route that will extend the Chester Valley Trail to the future 29-mile multi-use Enola Low Grade Trail located just outside of Atglen in Lancaster County. The Chester Valley Trail West project includes eight municipalities: Caln, Downingtown, Coatesville, Valley, Parkesburg, Sadsbury, West Sadsbury, and Atglen.

The meeting will take place on Nov. 7 at Gateway Church, located at 160 Cowan Road in Parkesburg. There will be an open house from 6:30-7:30 PM where attendees can view and comment on materials from the plan, and at 7:30 PM, the Planning Commission will present the highlights of the draft plan and recommendations.

Delaware County Community College

The college’s theatre arts department will present William Shakespeare’s Othello from Nov. 8-9 and 15-17. All performances begin at 7 PM and will be held in the Academic Building’s Large Auditorium on the Marple Campus. Click here for tickets.

The Shakespearean tragedy of Othello, originally set in 16th-century Venice, is reimagined for the modern stage.

Othello, an army general, has secretly married Desdemona, a daughter of the prominent senator Brabantio. Iago, a lower-ranking officer, is passed over for a promotion by Othello, and the jealous Iago begins a malicious campaign against Othello. The story that follows is one of deception, betrayal, and repentance.
