Chester County has taken the first step in establishing a human relations commission. The new body will be dedicated to protecting all residents from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. Ordinance 2025-3 was approved in a two-to-one vote, with Commissioners Josh Maxwell and Marian Moskowitz voting in favor and Commissioner Eric Roe voting against. Seven to 13 volunteer members will be appointed by the county commissioners to serve three-year terms. Applications will be available on the Chester County website.
