On November 8, 2022, Westtown residents and neighbors voted YES to save Crebilly Farm.
We’re Westtown residents who are committed to preserving the township’s largest remaining available property as open space for the benefit of all.
The question that appeared on the November 8th ballot:
“Do you favor the imposition of an increase in the earned income tax at a rate not to exceed eight one hundredths (8/100th) of one percent (0.08%) and an increase in the real Ordinance 2022-06 2 property tax at a rate not to exceed 0.42 mills ($0.42 per $1,000 assessed valuation) by the Township of Westtown to be used to purchase interest in real property for purposes of securing open space benefits and for transactional fees incidental to acquisitions of open space property; retire indebtedness incurred in acquiring open space; and the expenditure of funds for any purpose relating to the acquisition, planning for acquisition, preservation, improvement and maintenance of open space or for an open space benefits?”
Hate traffic? Love Crebilly.
Another subdivision in Westtown Township will increase traffic throughout the area, increasing air pollution and placing a greater strain on our roads and intersections. Drive times to reach 202 will increase.
Saving Crebilly saves money.
Keeping this iconic property green will also save you some green. It’s less expensive than building new infrastructure to service a subdevelopment, and it will improve our property values. Plus, you can’t put a price on Crebilly’s historic resources, or on the benefits of clean air and water that open space provides.
“By acquiring 208 acres of Crebilly Farm, Westtown Township will ensure that this pristine corner of the Township remains unspoiled for generations to come.”
— Westtown Township Supervisor
