About the Revitalization


Revitalization

Souderton’s revitalization program is really quite simple; to bring new businesses, residents and visitors to downtown Souderton. To reenergize, bringing vigor and life back to what was once the center of activity for surrounding communities.

It’s about bringing feet to the street.

Revitalization isn’t simply restoring things to the way they used to be. Yes, restoration is important, but it’s just as important to add dynamic new structures that Souderton will look to preserve a hundred years from now. It’s about encouraging economic development within the context of historic preservation in ways appropriate and relevant to today’s marketplace.


Imagine, hip new shops, right alongside quaint, historically-restored storefronts. New businesses. New residents. An exciting new microbrewery restaurant, a fresh spin on an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, a quiet wireless cafĂ©. Then picture yourself strolling down Main Street one evening with your family, spouse, or friends, seeing other friends, neighbors, business associates, and visitors–all doing the same thing–visiting, shopping, eating out, seeing a show, enjoying life.

Think revitalization.

Kind regards,
