<div>There’s a development proposal that could significantly affect the Beamsville Bench community — and we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since May, the Beamsville Bench Winery Association (BBWA) has been an official party at the Ontario Land Tribunal, standing with the town of Lincoln to make sure growth at 5205 King Street happens the right way — in a manner that respects the land, the wineries, and the community we’ve all built together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The proposed buildings are nearly double the height the current zoning allows. Independent expert modelling shows that extra height would dam airflow and pool cold air over the vineyards, dropping nighttime temperatures by 1 to 3 degrees. That’s enough to create frost damage in Riesling and Chardonnay where none exists today. Our experts in atmospheric science, viticulture, and planning all agree: this proposal, as designed, doesn’t fit here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The good news is that we have a strong case, credible experts, and real momentum. What we need now is our community behind us — and that’s exactly where you come in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where you donation goes:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised goes directly toward the expert evidence and legal representation that’s moving this case forward at the Tribunal — the atmospheric science, viticulture, and planning experts who are helping make sure this proposal is held to the right standard.
</div>
<div><br />
