    COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MARCUS HOOK BOROUGH Delaware County, Pennsylvania 2002 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE BOROUGH OF MARCUS HOOK OCTOBER 7, 2002 Prepared for the citizens of the Borough of Marcus Hook by the Delaware County Planning Department This project was financed in part with funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, P.L. 93-383 (as amended). Printed on Recycled Paper The logo was approved by Borough Council on February 3, 1992. It was designed to represent the overall character, culture, and history of Marcus Hook and incorporates the Borough’s motto “The Cornerstone of Pennsylvania.” The diamond shape represents the quality in the Borough. The Municipal Building façade was chosen as a unique Marcus Hook landmark. The people in front of it represent the diverse community support and the public/private partnerships which have contributed to the vitality of the Borough. The sunburst at the top shows the bright and promising future ahead. Wrapping the two sides are sycamore trees which are native to the Borough and reflect the new growth, attention to the environment, and concern for the beautification of the community. The straight and wavy stars and stripes lend a patriotic feel. The waves represent Marcus Hook’s proud beginning as a waterfront settlement. The five stars refer to the five star quality of life as well as the five war memorials throughout the Borough.
