Sounds like there's all kinds of excitement going on in Newlin Township. And not just the bridge repair on Powell Road, either.
Dozens of residents turned out for a recent township meeting to discuss the purchase of the property next to the Stargazer's Stone on Stargazer Road in Embreeville, and I'm told that tempers flared to the point that the supervisors had to adjourn the meeting.
After months of discussion, the township signed an agreement to buy the five-acre property, which it would keep as open space, contingent on receiving state grant money to do so. But some neighbors are objecting vehemently, fearing that it will increase traffic and have a negative impact on their lives, especially one woman who shares a driveway with the property in question.
"Newlin hasn't had this much excitement since we did our subdivision & zoning ordinances years ago," reports one of my Newlin pals.
