Kennett Square Borough Council rejected Council President Bob Norris’ bid to reintroduce for discussion a draft ordinance that would rezone the National Vulcanized Fiber (NVF) property for high density residential development. The former NVF site includes 24 total acres, with 22 acres along West Mulberry Street at the southwest corner of the borough. Rockhopper and Lennar are the deed holders, according to the Chester County Recorder of Deeds. There is a two-acre ballfield also in play.
