Open Space Loan Update

Please click here for clarification about possible plans to reclassify a portion of the Open Space Loan for renovation of the Barnard House.

Rain barrels are a great way to reduce stormwater runoff and save water for use in your garden. They can be purchased from the Brandywine Valley Association (BVA) and the Chester County Conservation District.

The Pocopson Township Code is available online by clicking here.
