Souderton/Telford has been designated a Classic Town of Greater Philadelphia. This program was created by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC).

The offical ceremony was on Thursday, October 1, 2009. Now you are able to find Souderton Telford on the official website! Check out the photos posted on Flickr by the staff at DVRPC.

The goal of the Classic Towns of Greater Philadelphia website is promote selected Classic Towns and create a centralized location where potential relocators, businesses, and visitors can access information about these distinctive communities in our region.

The media coverage is great: NBC Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Doylestown Intelligencer, the North Penn Reporter, WKYW radio, Philly.com and of course, Souderton Independent.

They also created a brochure and other material for our use. The brochure is available for download.

This site is not meant to compete with existing websites, but rather to provide an entryway into, support of, and endorsement for our community. By collectively representing and marketing designated “Classic Towns,” the program can attract more people to our region and, together, work to revitalize our historic communities.

The criteria for being designated a “Classic Town” is having successfully preserved the town’s history, neighborliness, and Main Street charm, as well as sharing a quality of life and livability uncommon in this age of suburban sprawl.

In case of winter weather we will use the following meeting cancellation policy for all STMS committee and Board meetings.

Listen for the Souderton Area School District cancellations on the radio or television or at www.soudertonsd.org.
