[MA-RPC] FW: Development in Cumberland Valley

[HikeSperry at aol.com]

Kerry and others,
In reference to the proposed development near the A.T. in Monroe Twp. 
Cumberland County, PA, we, I ,Mid Atlantic A.T. and other partners) have been working 
for the last five years trying to acquire land from an unwilling and 
uncooperative and difficult seller. The plot of land which is being planned for 
development and is land not originally up for sale was sold by the unwilling seller 
to a developer. 
Our hands have been tied until the developer presented plans to the township. 
We have contacted local groups and other interested parties in an effort to 
thwart the development.
I guess that I don't understand the negative attitude towards ATC or myself 
in this matter. I don't know what anyone else could add to the dilemma even if 
they had the information. 
When you are trying to purchase a piece of property it is not always wise to 
advertise the effort widely. There is a measure of decorum to be considered. 
I assure you, I and we and A.T. are doing their best under circumstances 
where our efforts are not always welcome, but we keep trying. The local citizens 
are also against the project which will be helpful. It will be a long haul.
We welcome your support and advice in a positive and useful manner.
Thyra Sperry
Ex Vice Chair- Mid Atlantic Region
