Nancy
Mohr Steps down as the Head
of Chester County 2020
After
nine years at the helm of
CC2020, Nancy Mohr has
announced her retirement as
of the end of July. Her
health from a stroke in the
fall ’09 has made this a
difficult decision for her.
Her
passion for the non-profit’s
mission has not waned, for
“there is also one more task
to complete, one more dream
to dream.
I’ve
experienced the benefit of
meeting with the fascinating
fabric, the diversity, and
the committed people across
the county.”
In the interim, the Chairman
of the Board, Jock Hannum,
will be responsible for
continuing CC2020’s mission
as will the Board. Nancy
will be on hand to support the
transition to the new
leadership of C2020.
And as she observes, “Over
the past nine years, there
have been changes here in
Chester County, some
unavoidable, some that might
have been chosen with a
wiser eye – if we had
looked, listened and
considered. Everyone who
moves to the county has a
dream of how their home and
community will be. It’s
human nature to emphasize
what appeals in the first
place. And if it doesn’t
meet expectations, there are
unexpected surprises. CC2020
tries to help maintain the
integrity of the county as
we know and cherish it –
charm, beauty, open space,
neighborliness – and the
responsibility we all
share.”
Nancy
leaves a legacy of
programs that has nurtured
Chester County and supported
one of the country’s best
places to live. From
Community Conversations to
Keep Farming First to the
Master Planner Program, she
has made CC2020 a recognized
force in preserving the
county’s quality of life.

About CC2020
Do You Know Us?
"Chester County 2020
helps create livable communities by bringing
people together to find common ground and then
working to transform dialogue into action."
Chester County 2020 is a fully expansive,
inclusive partnership that looks upon everyone
in the county as a partner. You are Chester
County 2020.
Chester County 2020 is
an innovative, energetic, non-profit change
agent. We concentrate on connecting the county's
residents, businesses and political leaders to
engage in cooperative efforts that address
common issues; dispel misguided rumors that
develop in any community discussion; and foster
action on the critical issues that maintain the
county's highly valued quality of life. Without
support from you, your neighbors and friends, we
cannot fulfill that mission.
The past history demonstrates our increased
visibility as a non-partisan,
community-sensitive organization that convenes
diverse constituencies. A gratifying outcome is enhanced communication and cooperation
among organizations and individuals of
wide-ranging attitudes and expertise. Also, direct
involvement with natural resource protection and
farmland preservation continues as CC2020
responds to issues involving the dynamics of an
increasing population.
Since the year 2000, more than
50,000 new residents have moved to Chester
County. Such an increase in population translates
into challenges for livable communities and resource
protection. If there is to be less sprawl in the
cornfields and less degradation to critical natural
resources, especially the watersheds, the urban
centers must become more livable. Density
proposals in areas where infrastructure exists
need to become less contentious. Allied concerns
involve the serious shortage of affordable
homes; improved, accessible public
transportation; safer and less congested
roadways and, most importantly, a strengthened
sense of community.
What we do
"Chester County 2020 helps create livable
communities by bringing people together to find
common ground and then working to transform
dialogue into action."
