Brian O'Connell and two others were at Bridgewater Township meeting Tuesday night, Jan. 13, presenting West Armstrong Business and Industrial Area Concept Plan for 475 total acres between Heath Creek on the north and Spring Brook (trout stream) on the southl I was bowled over, having expected them to conform to our mutual annexation agreement which limits annexation to 30 acres/yr (it would take them 5 years to take 150 acres of Sec. 2 ). But they are going west to Decker Ave at the midpoint of Sec. 3, with Leif Knecht's encouragement from behind the scenes. O'Connell said Bob Gill and Ken Prawer want to commit all of their land at one time. Similar to the plan Larry Larson worked out for landowners to the northwest. I wouldn't doubt if my other two supervisors go along with this. Takes two out of three votes on the Board. Bruce,
Thanks for your input on the 530-acre industrial park. Brian O’Connell and two others were at Bridgewater Township meeting Tuesday night, Jan. 13, presenting West Armstrong Business and Industrial Area Concept Plan
for 475 total acres between Heath Creek on the north and Spring Brook (trout stream) on the southl

I was bowled over, having expected them to conform to our mutual annexation agreement which limits annexation to 30 acres/yr (it would take them 5 years to take 150 acres of Sec. 2 ). But they are going west to Decker Ave at the midpoint of Sec. 3, with Leif Knecht’s encouragement from behind the scenes. O’Connell said Bob Gill and Ken Prawer want to commit all of their land at one time. Similar to the plan Larry Larson worked out for landowners to the northwest.

I wouldn’t doubt if my other two supervisors go along with this. Takes two out of three votes on the Board.
