SAVE Lionville Station FARM
Donation protected
We are fundraising to SAVE Lionville Station FARM. Uwchlan Township has heard initial proposals for the development of a mega warehouse complex. The scale of this development will have a horrendously negative impact on Uwchlan Township and the surrounding communities.
For the past many weeks, a few neighbors have been working feverishly to raise awareness, retain expert legal advice, come up to speed on the history of the property’s ownership, educate ourselves on Township ordinances and procedures and define the economic, environmental and social impact of this proposal.
We are raising money to fund the fight against the disastrous use of this property. Your gift will be used to support ongoing legal, engineering, and professional expert fees as well as operational expenses like flyers, mailers and digital marketing. This GoFundMe campaign is very likely to be the first tranche in a protracted battle against very deep-pocketed entities working hard against this community’s interest.
The proposed development is named: Lionville Trade Center.
(UPDATE: Sketch Plan for Lionville Trade Center withdrawn from the township on 08-14-23)
