Keeping the Downtown Sidewalks Clean with the "Clean Team"

The “Clean Team” has been providing sidewalk cleaning in Downtown Pottstown since June 2023. With original funding secured through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) improvements like continuously well-maintained sidewalks were made possible and are a critical piece of revitalization and growth in Pottstown. The “Clean Team” is part of the broader commitment to assist Downtown businesses in their post-pandemic recovery, as well as attracting new businesses and new investors to the Borough.

This service within the Downtown complements the cleaning efforts that already are in place, including post-event-specific clean-ups, community clean-up group programs, and regular street sweeping and trash removal that is provided by the Borough of Pottstown’s Public Works department. Ongoing placemaking and beautification efforts include, but are not limited to, projects such as “Light Up High Street’s” canopy of lights and the grass roots Planters’ programs on High Street.
