Petition to retain Short-Term Rentals throughout West Chester Borough

Petition to retain Short-Term Rentals throughout West Chester Borough

The Issue

We are local businesses, visitors, and residents in the Borough of West Chester, PA. We have seen the positive impact of Short-term rentals on our community. They serve not only as an additional source of passive income for homeowners but also fuel the local economy by enhancing cash flow to businesses in town. This includes shops, restaurants, and local tourism destinations. 

The Borough of West Chester has always been a place that nurtures local businesses and cherishes its residents. Short-term rentals have become a significant part of our economy, providing financial security to homeowners and giving local businesses the customer base they depend on to thrive. Placing stringent restrictions on Short-term rentals will only serve to stagnate the growth of our city. 


Benefits of Short-term rentals include: (1) Increase in tourist traffic to benefit the local economy. (2) Added tax revenue for the community. (3) Offering unique and affordable experiences to visitors.

We, the business and residents, are signing this petition to advocate Short-term rentals in the entire borough, including the town center and residential districts. 

Let's ensure our community continues to uphold its verve and vivacity by allowing Short-term rentals in the Borough of West Chester. Sign this petition in support of this cause.

We, the undersigned, are concerned local business owners, visitors, and residents who urge our city council members to allow Short-term rentals in the Borough of West Chester: NC-1 Neighborhood Conservation District, NC-2 Neighborhood Conservation District, NC-3 Neighborhood Conservation District, MU Mixed Use District, TC Town Center District.
