At long last, this committee of Ardmore stakeholders is forming and planning to meet in the immediate future. The goal of the Ad-Hoc Ardmore Committee will be to discuss ideas to create a vibrant and prosperous business district that responds to and is sensitive to the needs of Ardmore residents and those of the larger community. Thanks to Commissioner Cheryl Gelber, a committee comprised of representatives of SAC, ArdWood Civic, North Ardmore Civic, Ardmore Progressive, Ardmore Initiative, and the Ardmore Business Association is being formed. SAC expects to have 1-2 representatives on the committee.

If you are interested in participating on the committee, please email Sharon Eckstein at .
