The Phoenix Wheel is here! 🎡
My team was glad to be in Phoenixville to witness the official dedication of the historic wheel, which was manufactured in 1893 at Phoenix Bridge Company, a subsidiary of Phoenix Iron & Steel, and was in operation in Asbury Park, New Jersey for 93 years.
When I represented Phoenixville, prior to redistricting, my team and I were proud to help secure state grant funding to bring the wheel back to its home. Now the wheel has risen from the ashes, creating an entrance to the borough’s downtown and serving as a grand reminder of the town’s rich manufacturing history.
Personally, this dedication is closing a chapter for my office having the privilege to serve the borough of Phoenixville, but I know the town has been and continues to be greatly served by my friend Senator Muth and her team.
Thank you to Barbara Cohen, the Schuylkill River Heritage Center, and everyone that made this project a reality!
