Cromby Generating Station

The Cromby Generating Station site is located along the Schuylkill River, in the Philadelphia Metro Area, with a portion of the property located within the fast-growing Phoenixville Borough. The site is approximately 147 acres in cohesive ownership and hosts 13,800 linear feet of rail access that connects with a Norfolk Southern main line. Electric power runs through the site from two operational substations owned by PECO Energy which can also provide natural gas to the site. Redevelopment options should consider the Philadelphia region’s growth prospects which include a growing life sciences industry and emerging opportunities for advanced indoor agriculture.
