We take you to New Garden Township, where officials met with residents to mull over the potential sale of its sewer system ... We take you to Kennett Square, where the success of the After-the-Bell school program has increased the need for volunteer teachers ... From a local library's summer camp to a martial arts class to new businesses, it's all here in this week's Chester County Press.
