Two got it right

It is not often that we agree with Supervisor C. David Howell but, he got it right last night.

Bethlehem-based developer KMRD, LP is proposing 182 homes on 435 acres on tracts near Richmond and Kuebler roads and Kesslersville and Uhler roads. This is the SECOND extension given for the King's Farm subdivision and considering that they have yet to even conduct the needed soil tests, we agree with Mr. Howell when he said "enough is enough."

Please keep in mind that this developer group (a.k.a. Zawarski) are also the same people who wish to build 3,000 new residential units (apartments, townhouses and mobile homes) in the Farmland Preservation District.

Kudos to Supervisor Howell as well to Supervisor Bonnie Nicholas for their vote opposing this extension. Even though Mr. Howell and Ms. Nicholas were thwarted by Supervisors David Hoff, John Ackerman and Donald ("Don") Miller, we applaud Nicholas and Howell for their efforts on behalf of the residents.
