Recently Telford Borough and her neighbor, Souderton Borough, have joined forces and formed the Souderton – Telford Main Streets (http://www.stmainst.org) Program a non-profit organization designed to encourage revitalization of both boroughs. We look forward to positive changes, while still nurturing the small town atmosphere.
