ATTRACTIVE, AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE
Norristown. Walk the very same streets that Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, and Daniel Webster did. Discover the landmarks that are part of Norristown's long growth: the famed courthouse, master work of Napoleon LeBrun, designer of Philadelphia's Academy of Music; the authentic Tiffany-stained glass in the St. George Coptic Orthodox church; the obelisk that honors David Rittenhouse - a pioneering inventor, astronomer and surveyor so revered he was called the "American Newton." Enjoy the vibrant WPA murals in Norristown's post office that honor the industrial age. These sites and many more mark the rich and diverse history of the Municipality .

But that was then, and this is now. Pennsylvania's 300 year-old-center of commerce has reinvented itself...attracting artists, developers, retailers and businesses of all shapes and sizes.

NORRISTOWN. THE OPPORTUNITY.
Norristown's special quality of life is exemplified by its civic pride, volunteer programs, innovative schools, well-maintained neighborhoods and surprisingly affordable housing.

The fiber of the Norristown community is also reflected in the decline of crime and decreasing unemployment despite the reversed trends throughout the state.

NORRISTOWN. THE VISION.
The Municipality of Norristown has long had a special vision of an ever stronger, more affluent community. A place that would offer even more reasons for businesses to turn to the Municipality .

Norristown took the first step in achieving that dream in 2000, with a Municipality -wide revitalization plan and program that features multiple initiatives and partnerships.
