Interesting that they have this in Malvern, where 422 is not and few if any people there use 422 for commuting. Why not have this up here in Pottstown, where the majority of the commuters are located. These meetings need to be held where the people impacted live.
Now, let’s troll 202; that way the Malvern folks won’t feel left out …
I wouldn’t put too much stock into the location of this meeting, Ed. It’s being conducted by and for a specialty group, the chief executive officers of companies in the 422 corridor and elsewhere. They just happen to be meeting at a swanky hotel in Malvern. And to be honest, several meetings about 422 have been held in the greater Pottstown neck of the woods.
