Home Remodelers say momentum's building
Homeowners typically postpone expensive remodeling projects in the kitchen and bathroom during a recession, but manufacturers say they are seeing a slow increase in sales.
"In many parts of the country, people are starting to feel the thaw" in business, said Suzie Williford, president of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
With so many homes for sale, some homeowners are sprucing up their interiors to make them stand out.

Landscapes 2
Significant changes have occurred in Chester County
since the adoption of Landscapes in 1996. Since that time, Chester County has
become the fastest growing county in Pennsylvania - increasing by over 70,000
people in the last twelve years. The median home price has more than doubled
between 1995 and 2007 (from $155,000 to $312,500). Over 54,000 new housing
units have been proposed for development over the same period.
Chester County is now a regional employment center
- not just a "bedroom community" of commuters driving outside the County to
work. In ten years, the number of registered vehicles in the County grew by 35%
- that's 100,000 vehicles, all of which have an impact on area roadways.
You are invited to visit the website and offer
comment on any aspect of the draft plan.
