I believe the biggest asset to Birdsboro are its people! There are some great folks here that are willig to support their neighbors and there commerce doing business! The people here have always been very friendly and willing to listen to new ideas!
I think the biggest asset Birdsboro has is its location and its history! Birdsboro is a very old and industrially historic town, with lots of historic remnants remaining, and it is right on the Schuylkill River Trail. I would like to see Birdsboro residents feel proud about their town. The river and early industry can attract visitors to the area who are coming to see the river, the old canal prism and it's remaining features, the old train station and St. Michael's Church, to see Furnace Street's stone buildings and to stroll along the Hay Creek, a wonderful estuary and watershed in our area.
Perhaps trees might not be foremost when one considers Birdsboro's assets, however, have you noticed the cluster of white blossomed trees that greet you each Spring as you enter Furnace Street from Rte. 724 or the bridge?
Beautiful!

It is my opinion that Birdsboro's major asset is the fact that it has spanned nearly three centuries with major interaction in all phases of American history, from the colonial period to the twenty-first century.
