About

Clean & Safe

Creating a safe, clean, and green community is a vital aspect of any town revitalization effort, according to experts. The benefits to Hobart’s Run and Pottstown range from obvious environmental and aesthetic improvements, to the effects of safe, clean, and green programs on property values and investment in the community.

Edgewood Historic Cemetery

Hobart’s Run joined forces with the Friends of Edgewood Historic Cemetery in 2018, and we are proud to say the condition of the officially abandoned cemetery has improved dramatically, thanks to fall and spring community cleanups and fundraisers such as “Walks to Remember” – living history tours of important individuals buried on the cemetery’s 12 acres. All funds designated to Edgewood are used to keep the grass mowed and help with other vital upkeep.

"How Can I Help Hobart's Run?"

There are many ways to get involved – from volunteering for a cleanup, participating in neighborhood meetings, serving as a block captain, or making a financial contribution that will help us fund our community initiatives.

Hobart's Run (a 501(c)(3) neighborhood initiative) was launched by The Hill School to create a clean and safe community; foster inclusivity; provide incentives for home ownership and property pride; and generate quality business development.
