RiverPlace on the Schuylkill is a community-based
non-profit initiative.
Our mission
To use the power of the River as a
catalyst to unite communities and foster economic development.
Our vision
An environment where the Berks County Community comes together
to enjoy living, playing, and working in and on both
sides of the River and its neighborhoods.
RiverPlace on the Schuylkill is committed
tomaking this dream a reality.
We begin with the River as the "soul" of the community. Together we have the power to make a change for
prosperity by reconnecting to the river, and to each
other. The public response has been overwhelmingly supportive. We invite you to learn more about RiverPlace and welcome you to volunteer.

RiverPlace Development Corporation
As Peter Seeger once sang...
"There's no telling
what the power
of the people and
the river can do."
