CONNECTING WITH THE KING

A WORLD CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE FORUM

Thursday, December 3, 2015 l 8-10:00am

Sheraton Valley Forge

480 N Gulph Road

King of Prussia, PA

Tickets: $25 in advance; $35 at the door

Home to approximately 50,000 jobs, King of Prussia is the largest employment center in our region outside of Philadelphia. Mixed-use development projects slated or underway promise additional jobs and residences at King of Prussia, but traffic congestion and limited transportation options make accessibility a challenge and limit long-term growth potential. The proposed extension of SEPTA’s Norristown High Speed Line will expand access by creating a critical transit link between King of Prussia and Philadelphia as well as Norristown and other destinations in Montgomery and Delaware Counties.

The Economy League is working with SEPTA and Econsult Solutions to understand what this transit investment would mean for Greater Philadelphia. Join us on December 3 for an engaging conversation about the potential economic impacts of the King of Prussia rail proposal and how similar investments in other regions have helped drive growth and expand opportunity.
