Neighbors For Crebilly

Crebilly Farm is located in Westtown Township, Pa  bordering Routes 202 and 926, South New Street and West Pleasant Grove Road.

Recently, this 330-acre parcel of farmland featuring a portion of The Brandywine Battlefield was sold to Toll Brothers, Inc.

On November 16, 2016, Toll brothers will present to the public their plans hoping to gain township approval and permits to construct nearly 400 homes on the parcel. 

Neighbors For Crebilly is an advocacy  group  formed to voice the collective concerns of township and neighboring residents and take appropriate action to preserve this historic open space. 

At this point, there are likely two outcomes. The first is where Toll completes the sale and begins moving forward with their plans once approved. The second, like all real estate deals, there's always a chance the transaction will not complete and the sellers will have to seek another option. 

In both of these outcomes, Neighbors For Crebilly is positioned to work with the township and the developer to seek a lower density and preserving historical battleground acreage. We'll also keep in mind that economic impact studies and others are crucial in this process, included and heard. 

If the transaction doesn't complete, Neighbors For Crebilly will work with the family to preserve the open space and seek funds from conservancies and local, state, national and private sources. 

We're setting an initial goal of $25,000 to pay for outreach expenses and bolster our voices with legal counsel fluent in municipal law. If there are excess funds in the end, these will be divided up and sent to local land conservancies.

Neighbors For Crebilly is a volunteer group and there is no compensation for time spent. We are also not a charitible organization and contributions are not tax deductible. Any excess funds in teh end will be donated by us to two local conservancies. We are always looking for new volunteers and public input. Please email us. 

Thank you in advance for your support and consideration for keeping as much open space for our enjoyment and the enjoyment of future generations.
