Montgomery County is expanding and upgrading its network of trails, to meet growing demand during the pandemic. The Schuylkill River Trail will see a new connector to Route 422 near Pottstown, which will essentially help build the link from Chester County all the way south to Philadelphia.
“Whenever we are doing trail planning work, we always think about where the trails can go into Bucks or into Philadelphia or into Chester counties, because this network is well beyond Montgomery County’s boundary. So it’s really a regional effort to build out these trails,” said Bill Hartman, section chief of trails and open space planning for the Montgomery County Planning Commission.

SACO – It’s with great sadness that I share with you Ken’s peaceful passing at home on Dec. 23, 2020 with loving family by his side. His long, hard fought battle with esophageal cancer has ended.
Ken’s ready smile, helping hand and gentle manner will always be remembered. Ken touched so many lives. He was born Feb. 19, 1942 in Gardiner, the son of the late Leon O. Goodwin and Ada M. Goodwin.
A graduate of Gardiner High School class of 1960, Ken held careers in banking, insurance, and hospital administration, advancing to administrator/CEO of Sebasticook Hospital in Pittsfield and Millinocket Community Hospital. He ended his career in construction safety and management on various projects in Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire.
