Help Save Historic New Castle, Pa

We are a group of New Castle, PA residents protesting the demolition or removing of preserved Victorian houses for a Speedway gas station. The proposed area is located in our North Hill Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the downtown historic overlay. We are raising funds to halt the destruction through legal services. The zoning ordinance protects these historic properties but is being ignored by the city. We need to stop a proposed gas station development to protect the historic area. Legal consultants say we have a strong argument and need to hire a lawyer, which will cost approximately $10,000.00. New Castle's historic architecture is recognized nationally and is irreplaceable. Please help us to protect our history! We appreciate every donation, large or small. Your donations give much to the community by helping to save ourheritage!
We are thankful for your support!
