Sell-out Crowds, Positive Economic Impact

The First Annual King of Prussia Beerfest Royale was a huge success! The weather was perfect, the beer was flowing, the food was delicious and our attendees were incredible! 

Lots of fun at our Friday Night Preview Party!

Over 2,300 people attended our First Annual Beerfest over the course of two days and three sessions. Attendees enjoyed sampling beer from over 35 different local craft and German brewers, dining on food from KOP's finest restaurants and listening to live music on two stages! 

A photo gallery with pictures from the entire event will be available early next week on Facebook, Flickr, and kopbeerfest.com. 

Be sure to mark your calendars for Beerfest Royale 2013, taking place the first weekend in October 2013!  

Finally, we would like to thank our fantastic sponsors who helped make this event possible, many of which are located right here in King of Prussia!

KOP-BID Medians Honored by Upper Merion Township &  PHS

Landscaped median on DeKalb Pike near Henderson Road in full bloom!

In the fall of 2011 and spring of 2012, KOP-BID completed landscape improvements on five medians on DeKalb Pike and three medians on First Ave. The once barren medians were transformed with a variety of lush perennials, grasses, shrubs and trees that now bring year-round interest. 

The medians were carefully designed to be tolerant of the tough, dry and salty conditions and are maintained weekly by our landscape contractor. 

Our work on these medians was recently recognized with a Beautification Award by Upper Merion Township and a Community Greening Award by The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS). 

We are honored to be recognized by our Township and PHS, and we plan to continue our landscape improvements in the future. 

Hailing from Philadelphia, Pankaj Jobanputra (PJ) has a passion for all things local, from the culture to the food to the sports. Along with this passion comes a desire to make this region better so that it can realize its full potential as a thriving and successful place to live, work and play.

Pankaj joined KOP-BID in September 2012 as the Manager of Capital Projects and Planning. He received his Master of City and Regional Planning degree from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University and his Bachelor's in Marketing from Drexel University. Prior to joining KOP-BID, he worked for a respected nonprofit community development group in New Jersey helping to create and promote affordable housing, schools and nonprofit centers throughout the state. At KOP-BID, Pankaj's duties include managing planning studies and working on physical improvement and transportation projects.

Are King of Prussia's best days behind us or still ahead? We at the King of Prussia District believe they are still to come! Thanks to an engaged corporate community and active Township leaders working together with KOP-BID, our plans for the future of King of Prussia look very bright. 

Read my latest blog post where I describe our five-point plan to continue to improve King of Prussia in future years. 

Sincerely,   

Eric Goldstein, Executive Director
