KENNETT SQUARE, April 7 – State Rep. Christina Sappey, D-Chester, today announced $1 million in state funding has been awarded to the Square Roots Community Partnership, Inc. to continue its restoration work on the Creamery of Kennett Square.
According to Sappey, the funding comes from Pennsylvania’s Main Street Matters program, which was created in the 2024-25 state budget to help revitalize downtowns, support small businesses and strengthen local economies. The $1 million grant will be used to restore the 19,000 square foot creamery building in the Birch Street District.
“The Creamery project is a great fit for the Main Street Matters program,” Sappey said. “This funding will help restore the structural integrity of a historic building and foster economic development in the greater Kennett Square community and the Birch Street corridor. We value our history very much here, so doing the work to restore a structure that will invite visitors from far and wide to Kennett to learn, experience and enjoy is a very worthwhile endeavor.”
Square Roots Community Partnership, Inc. is a nonprofit community initiative in Kennett Square that works to fund local business development projects, like the Creamery. All of its profits are used for community benefit projects.
