Chief Matt Gordon

On June 2^nd the Board of Supervisors and Kennett Township had the privilege of hosting the Swearing in Ceremony for our Police Chief, Matt Gordon. In attendance to celebrate Matt’s promotion were officers from over 20 different police departments, 5 fire departments, 7 different county and national offices, plus family and friends. Dr. Leff and I shared remarks on Matt’s amazing career and character, Judge Jacqueline Carroll Cody administered the oath, and Matt brought it home with a heartfelt list honoring those who helped him get to where he is today. We look forward to many years of Matt’s continual leadership of the Kennett Township Police Department.

Juneteenth Festival

Journeying Toward Freedom, a Chester County Juneteenth Festival, is a county-wide program that will take place the weeks of June 12th-July 5th, 2021. Four partners ---the Chester County Historic Preservation Society, Voices Underground, the Chester County History Center, and the Chester County Planning Commission are working together to promote African American cultural heritage in Chester County, nurture community collaboration, expand the community’s narrative about itself, and to leaven national conversations about African American cultural history. And the animating values out of which we seek to pursue these goals are: collaborative creation, comprehensive equity, financial transparency, creative excellence, and community benefit.
