Haverford Business Developments - August 2022

Matching Facade Grant Program - Phase 2 is open!

Building on the efforts from Phase 1, Discover Haverford and Haverford Township are happy to announce the opening of the Haverford Township Façade Improvement Matching Grant Program – Phase 2 which will continue to provide matching grants to businesses, nonprofits or commercial property owners for the purpose of promoting economic recovery and community revitalization through aesthetically improved business properties, visible from our public streets. Phase 2 will have expanded awards with the Township matching an applicant’s investment in qualified improvements, dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000. Funds for this service are provided to the Township by the federal government through the American Rescue Plan Act. The program administrator on behalf of the Township of Haverford is the non-for-profit agency, Discover Haverford (HPED). Applicants who were previously awarded grants under Phase 1 may reapply under Phase 2 as long as their total award between the two phases does not exceed $25,000.

Consumer Survey Results

Are you an entrepreneur looking to open up a business?

Hear from Haverford Township residents about what businesses they want!

Every few years, Discover Haverford (formerly known as Haverford Partnership for Economic Development or HPED) conducts a survey of residents to find out what revitalization efforts are most important to them, and what businesses they would like us to recruit. Over 450 Haverford Township residents completed the survey this year.

The new restaurants that residents are most interested in are a family restaurant, coffeeshop/luncheonette, microbrewery, seafood restaurant, and fine dining. A few residents pointed out that we could use more BYOB restaurants and restaurants with outdoor seating. Another requested “more coffee shops with office/co-working spaces (or co-working / office spaces with coffee shops!) would likely go a long way given how many people work in Havertown from home.”

Discover Haverford Welcomes Infinity Fitness

Jon Roh and his family are no strangers to Havertown and we are so glad they have returned to open Infinity Fitness located at 27 East Eagle Road, Havertown, PA. It was great to hear from

Jon about his passion for helping others through fitness, community, and a positive mindset shift.

Jon grew up in York, PA and started his career in the family construction business. After 6 years he knew he was built for more. Jon credits his dad and what he has learned about building and sustaining a business from his time working in construction with

him.
