Save Hollystone Manor

By now many of you know a Philadelphia developer bought the Hollystone property at 29 Fiddlers Creek Road in Titusville (Hopewell Township) with the intent to convert a single-family residence into a hotel/ restaurant complex they intend to call “The Hopewell” on a quiet, narrow, rural road in our community.

The project is a massive intrusion into this environmentally sensitive area of Hopewell Township and will forever change the area around Fiddlers Creek Road. We need to mount a strong response to this application so our township leaders know we are opposed to this outrageous proposal.

What steps can we take?

Since most of us were unaware of this application until this week, concerned residents have come together to start the discussion about how we can respond. We have already had a huge response from the community…..meaning from ALL parts of Hopewell and a resident of Ringoes.

We are gathering contact information from residents who want to be part of the opposition.

We have engaged attorneys to represent us at the upcoming meeting. More information will be forthcoming in the next few days on the legal issues.

There are a lot of comments posted on social media, like FB Hopewell Pennington Issues, Hopewell Pennington Update, etc. and on Next Door. (to date, there is not a single person posting on social media who is in favor of this zoning application).

We need help from the community and many have offered their time and expertise to join this fight. Funds are needed for legal fees and other professionals that may be needed to fight this development.

Do not let your guard down. This developer has already purchased this property and will try to convince our township leaders that the development is a ‘benefit’ to this community. We need to kill this application at the zoning board level to avoid a long and costly appeal to the courts…..but we are ready, if that become necessary.
