Stop Lower Pottsgrove Township from Tearing Down Homes and Building They're New Campus

Recently our Township has purchased several properties at the corner of E High St and Pleasantview Rd with the intention to eventually tear them down to build themselves a New Campus to replace the Township Building on the corner of Pleasentview Rd. and Buchart Rd. Not only do I feel it is extremely unnecessary for our small community but these houses that they have purchased are rental properties. There is about 8 families who have lived and rented these homes for a very long time that will soon be having to find and afford new places to live. The children who have grown up in this school district will soon have to try to find new homes within the school district boundaries, witch will not be a easy task, if at all even possible. These properties were meant for Long term renting, not short term, with an impending unknown deadline. The owners only sold due to the large offer the township gave them despite the houses not even being for sale. This is a petition to stop the plan to tear these homes down for they're new campus. They can build it around these homes, there is plenty of property to build on without disturbing these houses. In addition to the families that will lose they're homes, the historic value of these properties is also very important. These homes have been a part of the Sanatoga community for over 100 years. These houses were built in the early 1900's and preserving our communities historic value is just as important as the community members livelihoods. These homes were also built with exterior asbestos and if they disturb the homes it will put all surrounding neighbors and the workers employed by the township at high health risks. It can be very dangerous and detrimental to tear down these homes for many reasons. Please show your support by signing my petition.
