The big news on the City's economic development front is a large scale mixed use development project on the Chester waterfront. Located southwest of the Commodore Barry Bridge, this development will be anchored by an 18,500 seat soccer stadium, which officially broke ground on December 1, 2008. The stadium will not only bring the nation's 16th Major League Soccer franchise to Chester, but it will also bring new job opportunities and economic activity to the City.
In addition, this world class venue will also be the home of the Women's Professional Soccer league, beginning in 2010. The stadium will also host a number of additional events throughout the year, including potential concerts and various high school and collegiate sporting events. The completion date for the soccer stadium is scheduled for the spring of 2010.
As an existing brownfield site, a significant benefit of this development will result in a substantial level of environmental cleanup, which is being closely monitored by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Click here for more information about the cleanup of the site.
