Collegeville Borough 2019 Business Survey

Would you like to see Collegeville Borough support business development and invest in bringing new businesses to Collegeville's Business District? Do you have any ideas about how we can make our Business District more attractive and vibrant?

Twenty years ago, Collegeville Borough served as the commercial hub for the area. Now shoppers have many choices. To stay competitive, we believe that Collegeville's entire business district-the commercial buildings on First and Second Avenues, Main Street, the shopping centers and Collegeville Station-need to attract additional interesting retail shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

The Collegeville Borough Business Development Committee was formed in January, 2018 to oversee economic development and business recruitment in the borough. The committee members are seeking your input concerning what businesses you would like to see locate to our borough. Businesses and other commercial ventures only succeed if residents patronize them, so please let us know the types of businesses you would frequent by taking our survey.
