Before You Vote: The Details Behind Lower Salford Township's $21 Million Open Space Plan

Lower Salford Township residents will vote on a referendum May 19 to increase the Earned Income Tax (EIT) by 0.25% to fund the purchase of approximately 61.5 acres of land from the Allebach family for preservation as open space.

For those unfamiliar, the Allebach Farm is a tract located at the intersection of Main Street and Quarry Road, extending toward Stover Road.

Let me be clear: I am not opposed to preserving open space. I am not opposed to this land being protected. Like many residents, I value the character of our community and the importance of thoughtful, responsible development.

My focus is on making sure voters have a clear and complete understanding of what is being proposed before they head to the polls.
