Please try to attend....

Even though our challenge to Zoning Ordinance #298 continues on Monday, February 26, 2007, The Board of Supervisors and the applicants are proceeding with a Conditional Use Hearing (see legal notice below) for Weis Markets on Thursday, January 18, 2007 @ 6:30pm.

We need your help!

PLEASE, try to-

  1. Attend
  2. Spread the word to your friends and neighbors, and urge them to attend
  3. Speak out at the Hearing and tell the board that you don't want this traffic, economic and zoning nightmare!
  4. Remember, this is OUR Township!

If you have any doubt as to what concerned citizens can do, look no further than Slate Belt. The Slate Belt Concerned Citizens worked hard to defeat a shopping center and according to news reports (see below) they did it!

If we stand and fight together, we can win!

Hope to see you there.
