**Dear Friends and Supporters,**
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Laura Dengel, and I am the founder at SAVE New Sewickley. We are currently working on an exciting project that promises to bring necessary amendments and changes to township ordinances and state statutes for the preservation of rural and agricultural lands and lifestyles.
To ensure the success of the Meadowcrest Planned Residential Development land use appeal, we need to secure funds to cover legal expenses totaling $75,000. These funds will be placed in an escrow account to facilitate the necessary legal services and move the appeal forward.
The legal services are crucial as they will ensure compliance with all existing regulations and safeguard our community’s interests throughout the PRD conditional use process. Without these legal services, the tentatively approved project could significantly detriment our community and lead to potential irreversible consequences for New Sewickley’s rural character.

For your reference, our legal team consists of Dwight Ferguson and John Stranahan II from Cafardi Ferguson + Wyrick. Dwight’s extensive experience in zoning cases, from initial design reviews to trial and appellate levels, makes him an invaluable asset for our project. He is well-regarded in the field, often referred to as “the zoning guy” by clients and peers alike. John is a fifth generation attorney whose family has practiced law in the Western Pennsylvania area since the 1860s, his roots run deep and ours do too. He is recognized as a Super Attorney.
We are reaching out to you, our valued supporters, to help us reach our goal of $75,000. Your contribution will be instrumental in ensuring the smooth progression of our land use appeal and safeguarding the future of our community.
By standing with us, you are not only helping us achieve a significant milestone but also contributing to a beneficial outcome for New Sewickley Township. We are committed to transparency and will keep you informed of our progress at local supervisor, planning commission, and municipal authority meetings.
Thank you for considering this urgent request. Your support means the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide. If you have any questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at knownewsewickleynews@gmail.com.
With warm regards and heartfelt appreciation,
Laura Dengel
