The Delaware County Strategic Investment and Gaming Revenue Authority approved a $22,000 special grant for the Urban Land Institute to support planning work that would benefit the City of Chester.
Dr. Max Cooper summarized ULI's technical-assistance engagement with Upper Darby — a process that produced a planning document designed to be usable for both public presentation and grant applications. "They were a great organization… the project undertook creating a planning document for something called destination downtown Upper Darby," Cooper said, explaining that the ULI report included actionable, audience-tailored steps. Board members said the document appeared to offer clear next steps for grant-seeking and neighborhood-level implementation.
Chair moved to fund ULI and the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Board members asked only clarifying questions before the vote and noted they viewed the work as economic-development activity that aligned with the authority's objectives.
