Silver Spring LPRB offers mentorship to Upper Allen Township on planned land-preservation referendum
Summary
Board members told Upper Allen Township leaders how Silver Spring established its land preservation program and offered mentorship as Upper Allen drafts a referendum to create a program of its own.
During new business at the June 18, 2026 meeting, members reported that Upper Allen Township is drafting a referendum to create a land preservation program. Chair Frank Evelhoch and member Vince DiFilippo attended an Upper Allen meeting and described how Silver Spring’s program began; the board offered mentorship to Upper Allen as it proceeds through the process.
The minutes record the outreach as informational; no formal partnership or financial commitment was recorded. The board also reviewed financial statements and a PLGIT investment update during the same meeting, and tabled a separate discussion about redesigning the township webpage until the next meeting on a motion by Secretary Sharon Wevodau.
Board engagement in regional mentoring underscores local interest in building municipal capacity for land preservation, but any formal steps by Upper Allen will depend on that township’s referendum process and subsequent decisions by its voters and elected officials.
