However, the borough has rebounded from the loss of these two giants and has, since that period, seen the development of two major industrial parks. Today, Pottstown's historic district is considered by many as first rate. In addition, a satellite campus of the Montgomery County Community College has been built within the borough. The Pottstown mailing address extends well into surrounding municipalities. The entire borough is serviced by a recently upgraded sewer facility.
Public water is available to the entire borough.
A full-time police force serves the community. Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies and some professionally trained borough employees. Residential trash disposal is provided by a private hauler. A full-time director oversees various programs. The major attraction is Memorial Park which encompasses 120 acres.
