The proposed sale of the Trappe Building and its 10.78 acre property to a developer would greatly impact Trappe, one of Pennsylvania's oldest and most historic towns, by replacing one of the largest remaining parcels of open space and a historic colonial revival school with a high-density housing development that will destroy Trappe's small town character and have a detrimental impact on community revitalization efforts. This property is located directly behind The Speaker's House, the historic home of Frederick Muhlenberg-first Speaker of the U.S. House and first signer of the Bill of Rights. We need a community that respects our history and preserves open space for the benefit of everyone, not high-density townhomes, strip malls, increased traffic, and suburban sprawl that will only drive down property values, strain existing infrastructure, and strip our community of its unique resources.
