What interest does the township have in appealing this again? Serious waste of tax dollars. With the only potential interest if a developer is waiting to get something pushed through that would require taking over a section of the farm for roads or possibly looking to buy out someone who inherits the land, I can't imagine why they brought this up in the first place.

I agree with everyone else here. Our future, our children's future is here in the land that can be farmed, not in the pavement that destroys it. Sure, a cookie cutter village generates more taxes, but it generates a lot more costs too. When will the supervisors see this? 100 home community means 230 more children to educate, compared to the 25 acre farm that had say four children to educate. That alone represents a 1.13 million dollar additional cost per year! Yet it only generates about 300,000 to 800,000 additional dollars.

Agreed. Hopefuly other farmers will be able to jump on this and continue farming, keeping local produce costs contained, and that Lancaster will keep some of the appeal that makes it unique.

I know that even with the glut of unsold houses on the market some developers still see logic in building dense, urban style housing in the middle of suburban neighborhoods. Remember why they do it, it's not for our benefit or the benefit of Lancaster County. It's to MAKE MONEY!

Let's protect our heritage and our farmers.
