Town Square Plaza in North Coventry
Sells for $22.6 Million
The Philadelphia Business Journal reports that Town Square Plaza, the Lowe’s-anchored shopping center on the Chester County side of Pottstown in North Coventry, has sold to Sky Capital Group for $22.6 million.
The publication describes the property as a 216,000-square-foot shopping center in Pottstown.
Limerick Generating Station Included in Conditional $5 Billion Federal Loan for Nuclear Upgrades
Limerick Generating Station is one of eight Constellation nuclear plants included in a conditional U.S. Department of Energy loan of up to $5 billion for power uprates and equipment upgrades.
The work would add nearly 1.1 gigawatts of capacity across the company’s fleet, though the department has not said how much of the money or added power would go to Limerick.
The loan is still conditional, and Constellation must meet technical, legal, environmental and financial requirements before any funds are released.
Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles Opens Gallery 2 With a Ribbon Cutting
Nov. 13th
Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles will open Gallery 2, its long-closed warehouse and the original paint shop of the Boyertown Auto Body Works, with a ribbon cutting at 5 PM Friday, Nov. 13.
The renovated building is filled with vehicles that have been in storage for decades, plus the relocated shop of custom bicycle builder Harry Havnoonian, who will give demonstrations Nov. 14 and 15 from 11 AM to 4 PM.
Opening weekend also brings the Back to the Future DeLorean tribute car, and Saturday, Nov. 14, adds a DJ, door prizes and a 1980s costume contest, all included with regular museum admission.
Ursinus to Cover Tuition for Eligible Montgomery County Students
Starting Fall 2027
The Grizzly, the Ursinus College student newspaper, reports that Ursinus is expanding its Montgomery County Tuition Promise to cover full tuition for four years for eligible students, beginning with freshmen in fall 2027.
To qualify, students must live in Montgomery County, file the FAFSA, have a family adjusted gross income of $65,000 or less and live on campus all four years.
The promise covers tuition only, so costs such as room and board are not included.
🏛️ Pottstown History: The Bahr Arcade
at High and Charlotte
The corner of High and Charlotte streets was once home to a mansion built in the early 1840s by Jacob S. Yost, a congressman and federal marshal.
After buying the property in 1901, George L. Gerhard and Wilson R. Brown razed the mansion, built a market house with stables for 150 horses and carriages, and pushed through a cash flow pause to finish the auditorium building in 1904, with a corner tower rising 106 feet.
Robert Feroe bought the property in 1922 for $145,000 and turned the High Street front into an arcade with stores on both sides.
The building later passed to Harry J. Bahr and became the Bahr Arcade in May 1925, a downtown landmark until it was taken down in 1973 for the municipal parking lot that sits there today.
