Chester County SPCA Holds Ribbon Cutting

The Chester County SPCA held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its facility near West Chester to celebrate the completion of a multi-million dollar, three-year renovation.

“This was a group effort,” said Chester County SPCA board president Conrad Muhly.  “Before the renovation this place reminded me of a prison.  Three years later there’s a huge difference.  I think we’ve raised the bar for what a shelter can be in the 21st Century.”

Elected officials across the county attended the ceremony including, U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach and State Sen. Andy Dinniman.

“This is was a terrific project,” Gerlach said.  “The before and after is just stunning.  I would like to thank everyone at the SPCA for their great service.”

“These upgrades are great for Henry and I both,” Dinniman said referring to his dog Henry who was also attended the ceremony.  “I want to congratulate the SPCA on a job well done.”
