“A big driver of suburban development is the availability of suitable land,” said Brian O’Leary, Chester County’s planning commissioner. “Is the zoning in place that makes sense for a denser development? Is there access to sewer and water infrastructure in particular? There’s not as much suitable land available as there was in the ‘80s or ‘90s.”O’Leary also noted that as population has increased, there are more residents to oppose new development.
“The building that’s going on in Chester County today, I feel like it’s been much more thoughtful in the last decade,” Rhodes said.
