🛑 Save Our Soil: Say No to the Auto Auction

Help Us Protect the Farms, Wetlands, and Way of Life in Franklinville, NJ!

We, the undersigned, are local residents, farm families, and concerned community members who are deeply opposed to the proposed auto auction facility planned for the property next to a family farm in Franklinville.

This area is not just a piece of land — it’s part of a vital ecosystem and a long-standing farming community. The proposed industrial development would bring serious and lasting harm:

- Destruction of wetlands and native wildlife habitats

- Pollution and disruption of waterways that support local farms

- Increased industrial traffic on rural roads

- Negative impact on nearby homes and property values

- Loss of farmland and open space that defines Franklinville’s character

Franklinville is a farming town. Our soil grows food, flowers, and futures. If we allow projects like this to move forward unchecked, we risk losing what makes our town special — not just for us, but for generations to come.

We’re calling on the Franklin Township Committee to reject this proposal and instead support thoughtful land use that respects the environment, protects working farms, and honors the voices of local families.

🖊️ Sign this petition to help us Save Our Soil and preserve what matters most — our land, our livelihoods, and our way of life.
