Chester is a city with a big heart and a strong spirit with numerous claims to fame including William Penn's first landing; the home of the original hoagie; Ethel Waters was born and raised in Chester; and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. studied and preached in Chester. Major businesses such as Kimberly Clark, Harrah's Casino, Crozer Hospital, Widener University, and the Philadelphia Union have significant operations in Chester.
Chester is in the midst of serious financial and operational challenges. The City is currently under receivership and has been in municipal bankruptcy since November 2022. Despite these challenges, the City has made progress with filling leadership positions with qualified professionals and has begun the process of improving its operations. The City is struggling 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.
