Resident: Don't Let Developer Destroy Land

To the Editor:

The Bridgewater Township Planning Board will be holding a meeting on May 8 at 7 p.m. at the Bridgewater Township Municipal Building to review an application to develop the former Wemple property, at 440 Foothill Road, as well as the former Cramer property, at 501 Steele Gap Road. 

The new owners are proposing a major subdivision of the tracts in order to construct 18 houses and two roads on these 36 acres of pristine, primarily wooded land. 

The former owners preserved these lands for many years. Unfortunately, due to their deaths, this proposal has been submitted by people who, in my opinion, care nothing about protecting this beautiful area.

If you love nature, wildlife and stately, majestic woods with meandering streams, come to this meeting to see what the raping of this land will do to Bridgewater.

For additional information email the neighborhood group at foothillscivic4@verizon.net.

Sincerely,

Laura Hierspiel
