Summer 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark season for Horsham Township — and for the businesses and employees who call this community home. The Horsham Township Summer 2025 Newsletter paints a vivid picture of a municipality that is growing, investing in itself, and delivering an exceptional quality of life that makes it one of the most attractive business addresses in the greater Philadelphia region.

At Babylon Business Campus, we are proud to be part of this community and to share what is happening right in our own backyard.

New Businesses Putting Down Roots in Horsham

The Horsham business community continues to grow with a strong class of new arrivals in 2025. The Waterside Horsham Foundation welcomed several new businesses to the township this spring:

O’Connell & Company LLC opened its doors at 204 Gibraltar Road, bringing quality accounting and tax services to Horsham. Their areas of expertise cover audits, reviews, financial statement preparation, and complex tax management — a welcome addition for the many businesses operating in our area.

Family Pet Clinic at 278 Easton Road is a full-service veterinary clinic that has been serving dogs, cats, and their owners for over 25 years. Now conveniently located in Horsham, they bring Fear Free techniques and compassionate care to the community.

Wok N’ Roll at 314 Horsham Road brings authentic Asian cuisine — including Chinese dishes and Japanese sushi — to the Horsham Point Shopping Center, open six days a week with pickup, takeout, and delivery available.

Buona Sera Restaurante at 537 Easton Road is Horsham’s newest Italian restaurant offering authentic BYOB family style dining featuring pasta, seafood, chicken, veal, and a take-out menu. Their daily special offers a four-course meal — a great option for a team lunch or client dinner.

Babylon Road Paving — Good News for Campus Tenants

Here is some news that directly affects everyone at Babylon Business Campus. The township’s 2025 Paving Project includes two segments of Babylon Road:

Babylon Road — Sheehy Drive to Route 463
Babylon Road — Davis Grove Road to Route 463

These are the primary access routes to Babylon Business Campus. Fresh paving means smoother roads for tenants, visitors, and delivery vehicles throughout the rest of 2025 and beyond. The project is part of a broader township-wide paving initiative covering numerous roads across Horsham.

$25 Million Invested in Horsham Through MIRIA

The Military Installation Remediation and Infrastructure Authority — better known as MIRIA — is now entering its sixth year of operation, and the results speak for themselves. To date, over $25 million has been invested in Horsham Township through the program, supporting road improvements, water systems, and other critical infrastructure.

MIRIA has also set aside $6.7 million over the past five years for its own projects, including the completed intersection upgrade at West Moreland Avenue and Easton Road, which was finished in fall 2024. With eight applications expected for the next funding cycle, the investment in Horsham’s future shows no signs of slowing down.

850 Acres of Open Space — One of Montgomery County’s Best

One of the most compelling reasons businesses choose Horsham is the quality of life it offers employees. The township boasts approximately 850 acres of open space across more than 50 sites — one of the largest and most diverse park systems in all of Montgomery County.

Looking ahead, the planned development of the former Naval Air Station property will add even more parkland to the township’s inventory, potentially positioning Horsham as the top municipality in Montgomery County for total open space acreage. For businesses recruiting talent, a workplace surrounded by green space, walking trails, and parks is a genuine competitive advantage.

A Summer Full of Community Events

Horsham’s summer 2025 calendar is packed with events that reflect a community that takes pride in bringing people together:

Horsham Fireworks Show — Saturday, June 7 at 9:00 PM at Deep Meadow Park, with surrounding events including Beach Bingo on June 6 hosted by the Rotary Club of Horsham and a Plant Swap hosted by the Horsham Environmental Advisory Board
National Night Out — August 5 from 6:00–9:00 PM at the Horsham Township Municipal Complex — free food, music, a car show, dunk tank, and more
Carpenter Cross — September 20 at Lukens Park, the 7th annual cycling event open to all spectators
EcoVENT — October 4 at the Municipal Complex, featuring a free tree giveaway and mobile shredding
Horsham Farmers’ Market — Every Sunday, May through October, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 435 Babylon Road at the Horsham Library Complex — just minutes from the campus

The Citizens Police Academy also returns for its 28th session, running September 9 through November 18, 2025 — a great opportunity for business owners and managers to connect with local law enforcement and understand how the community works together to stay safe.

Horsham: The Right Address for Your Business

When you add it all up — new businesses opening, major roads being repaved, $25 million in infrastructure investment, 850 acres of green space, and a summer full of community events — Horsham, PA continues to prove why it is one of the most desirable business communities in the greater Philadelphia region.

Babylon Business Campus has been a quiet cornerstone of this community since 1972. With 16 single-story multi-purpose buildings and a 3-story office tower on Route 463 Horsham Road, we offer flexible, well-maintained commercial and industrial flex space ideally suited for manufacturing, research and development, distribution, and corporate offices.

If you are thinking about your next business move, we would love to show you what Babylon Business Campus and the Horsham community have to offer. Contact Heffernan and Partners today to learn about available space.

Horsham is Open for Business: New Companies, Major Investment, and a Growing Business Community

Horsham Township is having a moment — and it shows no signs of slowing down. The Winter 2025 edition of the Horsham Township Newsletter paints a compelling picture of a community that is actively investing in its future, welcoming major new employers, and building the kind of infrastructure and business environment that makes companies want to put down roots here for the long term.

For businesses considering a location in the greater Philadelphia region, the story coming out of Horsham right now is one worth paying close attention to.

Major New Employers Choose Horsham

Two significant companies made Horsham their home in late 2024, and both speak to the caliber of business the township is attracting.

ClinChoice, a leading full-service global contract research organization (CRO), chose Horsham for its international headquarters. ClinChoice accelerates drug and device approvals to market — a sophisticated, high-value operation that could have located anywhere in the world. They chose Horsham. Township Manager Bill Gildea-Walker participated in their ribbon cutting, a sign of how seriously Horsham takes its role as a business partner.

Align Precision, a nationwide manufacturer serving the aerospace, defense, semiconductor and high-tech industries, also held a ribbon cutting in Horsham. They are bringing 150 employees to the township and have plans to add another 100 in the future. When a company in the defense and aerospace sector makes a long-term commitment of that scale, it signals deep confidence in the local workforce, infrastructure, and business climate.

$85 Million in State Investment Over Five Years

The Military Installation Remediation and Infrastructure Authority (MIRIA) marked its 5th award cycle in 2024, bringing the five-year total to $85.2 million in Pennsylvania state funding directed to Horsham Township and the surrounding region. Of that, approximately $32.5 million was specifically invested in economic development and non-PFAS related infrastructure improvements — roads, utilities, and the kind of foundational improvements that make a community more attractive to business investment for decades to come.

That level of sustained public investment in a community is a powerful indicator of long-term stability — exactly what businesses look for when choosing a location.

A Thriving Local Business Association

The Horsham Business Association (HBA), now in its second year, has grown to more than 60 members and represents over 800 businesses situated in Horsham Township. The HBA has been actively hosting networking events, a broker breakfast, a restaurant week, and a job fair — all designed to connect the business community and make Horsham more visible to companies and site selectors across the region.

The effort was recognized when the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County presented the HBA with its President’s Award for leadership in fostering business growth and community connection. That kind of regional recognition matters — it puts Horsham on the radar of businesses and brokers who are actively looking for the right community to call home.

Infrastructure Improvements Underway

The 2025 Horsham Township budget was approved with no tax increase — maintaining the 2.23 mill rate while continuing to fund significant capital improvements. Among the projects underway or planned for 2025:

Blair Mill Road Phase II widening — improving one of the township’s major commercial corridors
Route 611 Corridor Improvement Plan
Horsham Road bridge replacement engineering
Continued road paving throughout the township including Babylon Road from Davis Grove Road to Sheehy Drive — directly adjacent to Babylon Business Campus

Road improvements on Babylon Road and Sheehy Drive are particularly relevant to campus tenants and visitors, as these are the primary access routes to Babylon Business Campus.

A Community That Takes Care of Its Own

Beyond the business headlines, the newsletter reflects a community that takes pride in quality of life — from the Horsham Farmers’ Market returning for its 2025 season every Sunday from May through November, to the Miracle Field construction underway at Deep Meadow Park, to the first ever Citizens Municipal Academy launching in March 2025 to help residents better understand and engage with local government.

These are the qualities that matter to employees deciding where to live and work. A strong community with active civic engagement, well-maintained parks, good schools, and a growing restaurant and retail scene makes it easier for businesses to recruit and retain the talent they need.

Babylon Business Campus — Right in the Middle of It All

Since 1972, Babylon Business Campus has been a cornerstone of the Horsham business community. Located on Route 463 Horsham Road — the very corridor being improved — the campus offers 16 single-story multi-purpose buildings and a 3-story office tower, ideally suited for manufacturing, research and development, distribution, and corporate offices.

If the momentum building in Horsham has you thinking about your next business location, we would love to talk. Contact Heffernan and Partners today to learn about available space at Babylon Business Campus.

Pennsylvania Invests $500 Million to Attract Business to Communities Like Horsham

aerial shot of horsham montgomery county pa

If you have been considering relocating or expanding your business in the greater Philadelphia region, the timing has never been better — and Horsham, Montgomery County is positioned right at the center of it all.

Pennsylvania’s $500 Million Commitment to Business Growth

In late 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro secured $500 million for the Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites (PA SITES) program, a statewide initiative specifically designed to attract new business investment and turn underutilized properties into job-creating opportunities. The program targets communities throughout the Commonwealth — including towns like Horsham — making it easier and more financially attractive than ever for businesses to establish or expand their operations here.

The initiative builds on Pennsylvania’s growing reputation as one of the top business climates in the nation. Site Selection Magazine ranked Pennsylvania 11th in its 2025 Business Climate Rankings, up seven spots from the previous year.

Montgomery County Leads the Way

The momentum is particularly strong in Montgomery County. In February 2026, Governor Shapiro announced a landmark investment of over $1 billion from Johnson & Johnson to build a new manufacturing facility in Montgomery County, creating more than 500 new jobs. That kind of major corporate confidence in the region speaks volumes about the strength and desirability of this market.

Montgomery County has long been recognized for its skilled and diverse labor market, excellent transportation infrastructure, and high quality of life — all factors that make it one of the most sought-after business addresses in the Northeast.

Horsham: A Smart Choice for Your Business

Horsham Township, incorporated in 1717, has been a cornerstone of Montgomery County commerce for over 50 years. Conveniently located minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike with easy access to Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington and Harrisburg, Horsham offers businesses the connectivity they need without the costs of urban real estate.

Babylon Business Campus has been part of this thriving community since 1972 — providing flexible, well-maintained commercial and industrial flex space for businesses of all sizes. With 16 single-story multi-purpose buildings and a 3-story office tower, the campus is ideally suited for research and development, high tech manufacturing, distribution and corporate offices.

Horsham Township Accredited Among Safest Places To Live In PA

There are a lot of good things happening in the Keystone State. Not only is Pennsylvania earning accolades for its infrastructure upgrades and business growth, but also its crime rate is approximately 25% lower than the national average, according to the most recent FBI crime report. Plus, the state’s property crime is on the downturn—with the rates of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft all dropping.

We congratulate Horsham Township for doing their part to make our community a safe place to live, work, and play.

Lets Take A Look At Horsham’s Commitment To Safety

The Horsham Township Police Department has maintained its status as an “Accredited Law Enforcement Agency” since 2003.

Babylon Business Campus In The Heart Of Horsham

Horsham Township Best Place to Live by CNN Money Magazine

Township Manager William Walker is proud to announce that Horsham, Pennsylvania, has been selected as the 34th best place to live in America in 2013. Horsham Township is one of only five municipalities in Pennsylvania that was selected and one of only 100 communities nationwide. In 2007 CNN Money Magazine selected Horsham as the 15th overall best place to live in America and in 2009 U.S. News and World Report Magazine selected Horsham as being one of the best places to live in Pennsylvania.

The selection is based on a series of indicators that include population, income, job growth, crime, housing price, school quality, health care and more.

Walker states, “Horsham continues to maintain its real sense of community, providing the residents abundant park facilities, excellent schools, economic opportunity and safe neighborhoods while also attracting responsible business growth. The most important factor that makes the community so great is the people that live and work in Horsham.”

Mark McCouch, Horsham Council President, states, “We are thrilled to be ranked as one of the best places to live in America. It is an honor for Horsham Township. It is really a community effort in making our Township what it is. We have great residents, an excellent school district and an active business community which amplifies our quality of life. Being ranked No. 34 in the country, and one of only five in the State, helps to validate all the great things we are doing as a community.”
