Recovery Plan
The City of Chester has been subject to Commonwealth financial oversight under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act (Act 47 of 1987) since 1995. While other communities have successfully exited oversight or made progress toward doing so, Chester continues to struggle with multi‐million dollar deficits, past due obligations to its employee pension plans, and very marginal investments in the infrastructure that Chester residents and businesses use every day.
