Together, We’ve Already Achieved So Much:

✅ Protected Our Rural Character and Environment
We stopped zoning amendments that would have allowed exponential growth — including 220 homes proposed for Ruth Farm. That victory preserved not just land, but the peace and rhythm of our township.

✅ Defended the Township in Court — and Won
When the Ruth Farm developer tried to manipulate zoning laws for profit, we objected with expert witness testimony and legal counsel — and we prevailed, more than once.

✅ Stopped Political Overreach
We exposed and ended the illegal reappointments that attempted to extend political influence beyond expired terms. Local democracy won.

✅ Prevented Unnecessary Sewer Expansion
We halted the expansion of public sewer lines that would have opened the floodgates to overdevelopment — a quiet but powerful victory for smart growth.

✅ Upheld Agricultural Protections
We preserved agricultural zoning multipliers that are the backbone of our rural lands, ensuring that East Vincent remains a place where open space and natural resources are respected.

✅ Strengthened Zoning for People and Nature
When the proposed Pennhurst Data Center surfaced, we acted swiftly — educating officials, pushing the township to bring in experts, and pushing for stronger safeguards. 

Because of our Advocacy Work, the current draft ordinance now requires:

• LEED-certified green building

• Closed-loop water systems

• No private well draws

• Lower sound levels

• Greater setbacks from residences and sensitive receptors

• Preservation of forests and woodland buffers  

• And more.

BUT The Fight Isn't Over

Key next steps:

• Attend the next Planning Commission Meeting on Tuesday, October 21 @ 7PM at the township building located at 262 Ridge Rd, Spring City and  urge Township officials to do the following:

  • ensure the lowest sound levels possible, 

  • prevent constant, low frequency humming noise,

  • implement strict monitoring and enforcement policies with effectual, multi-faceted consequences,

  • require decommissioning plans that protect residents and the environment,

  • and designate a permanent, dignified place of remembrance for the history of Pennhurst.

 

• We have engaged East Vincent Advocacy's legal counsel to research the constitutionality of this land use, among other questions. ​​​
