Royersford Gets $250,000 For Major Downtown Improvements

ROYERSFORD, PA — Royersford has won a special $250,000 grant from Montgomery County to support the improvement of their downtown.

The funding from the Montco 2040 Implementation Grants will widen parking on Main Street to help draw more traffic to local businesses, install pedestrian-scale lighting, and add brick features to the sidewalk to make downtown more engaging and walkable.

"Montco 2040 is about turning vision into action and these new grant awards are doing just that," Commissioner Neil Makhija said. "From restoring parks to building greenways, we're investing in the future of our communities."

A total of 17 projects across Montgomery County were awarded funding in 2025. Montgomery County Commissioners and the Planning Commission evaluate proposals and allocate funding based on availability and the strength of applications.

This year marks the ninth year of grant funding through the Montco 2040 program, which aims to help create connections between communities, improve local economies, and promote sustainable development.

Specifically, projects were evaluated for their "impact, equity, readiness, and consistency" with local and county planners. Projects that improved walkability or bikeability in the region were also given added consideration.
