If You Are A Company Who Is Considering Leasing this Space

If You are a Company who is considering Leasing this potential space, PLEASE KNOW that there has been an intense opposition to this project.

This is our home, our neighborhood, and we are not willing to fade into the sunset or put our heads in the sand. We live here, 24/7, and we continue to be united in preserving the safety and value of our homes. Please be aware: We have nearly 100 signatures of neighbors and local businesses who oppose the building of this Warehouse and the widening of the Susquehanna Trail.

IT IS, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, THE DESIRE OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT IF THIS WAREHOUSE IS GOING TO BE BUILT:

  • A MUCH SAFER TRUCK ACCESS BE BUILT VIA CRONE ROAD.
  • SCREENING OF THE WAREHOUSE AND THE PARKING AREAS AND TRUCKS SHOULD EXCEED THE PLAN MINIMUMS, AND SHOULD SEEK TO COMPLETELY SHIELD THE NEIGHBORS FROM SEEING THE WAREHOUSE, THE TRUCKS, AND THE LIGHTS.

****WE WILL KEEP A SHARP WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR TRUCKS AND ON THE REGULATIONS AND LAWS THAT MUST BE MET. WE WILL NOT HESITATE TO CALL FOR ENFORCEMENT.


For further discussion on these matters, you may contact Darlene Weir, community organizer, via her email : dnweir@hotmail.com

Please put Bear Warehouse in your subject line. Thank you.

Keep up your signs

Hello neighbors,

I have had some neighbors ask me if they should continue to proudly display their No Warehouse yard signs, and the answer is YES!!

If you are willing, continue to display your sign. In the event that a company takes an interest in the property, these signs will alert them to check out this website. At that time, they will find our information, as well as a post about how it is the desire of the residents for the entrance to be moved to Crone Road, as well as for the company to provide as many buffers as possible to shield the neighbors from the impact.

So thank you for continuing to display your signs.

Remember to take heart. It is not over until it is over!!
