Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 23rd of May.
Good morning, West Chester.
🏘️ Community
The Arc of Chester County raised over $140,000 during the Bubble Walk & Fun Day on May 18 at West Goshen Community Park to support individuals with disabilities and their families.
More than 330 community members joined the mile-long walk, played games, and enjoyed a free picnic as peer-to-peer teams added nearly $30,000 to the total.
🏛️ Government
Supervisors approved a plan to temporarily lease the former Hiles home at Penn Green Easement to an eight-member family from June through August in partnership with KACS — the home is certified for no more than ten occupants.
After the temporary lease, the township will seek a 12-month lease with a long-term tenant while completing upgrades including handrails, new appliances and safety inspections — with estimated costs between $7,500 and $9,000.
🏥 Health
Malvern-based Fujirebio Diagnostics received FDA clearance on May 22 for a first-of-its-kind blood test that detects Alzheimer’s disease proteins in patients aged 55 and older showing early signs.
The test is 92% as accurate as brain scans and will help doctors diagnose the condition sooner — offering patients a chance at earlier treatment and potential clinical trial enrollment.
