Norristown Borough Council took a giant step into the light Tuesday evening. The council unanimously voted to end multi-family apartment conversions for single-family homes! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The measure does allow for mixed-use meaning commercial use on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors.
Council has wisely decided to stop the madness. By curbing the carving up of single-family homes into high density apartments, Norristown is demonstrating their desire to attract homeowners and shore up their tax base.
This is a big step in the right direction.
We applaud Norristown Borough Council for walking the talk!
