Economic Struggles Coatesville, like many Rust Belt cities and towns, has suffered as a result of the shift from an industrial to a service-oriented economy. Manufacturing Belt, highlighted in red The Rust Belt, a term coined from Manufacturing Belt, is an area in parts of the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States of America. ...
Lukens Steel Example Lukens Steel was the largest employer in Chester County in the 1960s, with over 10,000 workers. Forty years later, the largest employer in Chester County is the Vanguard Group, a financial services firm also with 10,000 workers. Lukens Steel was always a boutique steel producer, and continues to be one to this day. However as with all other surviving domestic steel producers, it has, in order to stay competitive with foreign steel, implemented much-needed efficiencies in its production processes, thereby reducing the needed workforce to a tenth of its former size. The steel plant continues to employ about 1,000 skilled workers and will continue to do so. The Vanguard Group is an American investment management company that offers mutual funds and other financial products and services to individual investors and institutional investors in the United States and abroad. ...
As in many other economically-distressed communities, Coatesville struggles with its crime rate. During the economic boom of the late 1990s, Coatesville began on an ambitious redevelopment project, facets of which included the tearing down of abandoned and dangerous public housing, new single family and townhouse developments, a regional recreation center, and most recently, mixed use projects that would include retail, office, and condominium housing, as well as the renovation of the local Amtrak station.

The redevelopment plans have not been without controversy, including a five-year eminent domain dispute with a local landowner in neighboring Valley Township. It has been resolved without the need to seize the property, but it caused the ouster of four incumbent City Councilpersons in the November, 2005 general elections. These four new councilpersons, two of which are ordained Pentecostal and Methodist ministers, caused further controversy with the firing of the city soliciter, the resignation of the city manager (who negotiated with the Valley Township landowner), and the departure of the assistant manager, police chief, and city treasurer. With Chester County being a rapidly growing area, demand for housing and recreation and retail facilities is growing in the region. Coatesville is ideally positioned to accommodate this demand both because of location and because of available property. The new properties, which would either be luxury apartments or condominiums priced at $150,000 to $250,000, would be targeted towards young executives in the Philadelphia area, and would be located on parcels of land formerly owned by ISG, or on places in Coatesville bought out by the city and torn down, starting in June, 2006. Eminent domain (U.S.), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland), resumption (Australia) or expropriation (Canada, South Africa) in common law legal systems is the inherent power of the state to expropriate private property, or rights in private property, without the owners consent, either for its own use or...
