A small New Jersey township nicknamed Kuwait West thrives on its proximity to a nuclear facility. The community, with a $6.5 million annual budget, boasts a 93 acre ski resort, refurbished school funded at $1 million, and free lunches for 350 pupils. Residents praise education and local spending while authorities decry obscene tax profits and rising executive salaries.
By 1990 four generating plants will operate in Lower Alloways Creek area, creating the nation’s nuclear power capital with over 4,300 megawatts capacity. Local natives oppose the tax and environmental impact while officials project $30 million yearly revenue by 1990. Residents fear fallout as plants come online, boosting income but stirring concern.
The study urges Chester officials to improve budgeting and planning, realign capital spending, and pursue state partnership with private support to analyze options and set priorities. It notes postwar shifts hit jobs and retail, underscores limited housing abandonment, and cites uneven permit activity with changing neighborhood values near Widener University.
The study highlights block grants as the major factor and notes that funds from the federal program are concentrating in areas with the poorest housing. With the program only a few years old, researchers say it is too early to see broad communitywide effects. The impact is expected to become visible gradually over the next decade.
