Out of state developers want to change the character and landscape of our town by putting an industrial development in a residential area. This development includes a 530,000-sf distribution center and a sprawling truck stop just feet away from our beautiful and pristine Tobyhanna Creek. This industrial use will pollute our thriving cold-water creek and wetlands. It will destroy animal habitat and the diverse woodlands around it.

Right now, Coolbaugh Township zoning prohibits this type of industrial development in residential areas to protect our way of life. The out of state developers, who have no ties to our community, are asking the Coolbaugh Township Supervisors to overturn zoning regulations so that they can profit at our expense.  

We the undersigned oppose this zoning change and urge Coolbaugh Township Supervisors to vote NO.
