Resident accuses board of dismissing preservation-ordinance proposal as town plans 250th celebration
Summary
A 34-year West Town resident described historical-commission projects for the townships 250th celebration and criticized a supervisor for dismissing a preservation-ordinance proposal; the resident urged the board to pursue preservation measures alongside anniversary planning.
A long-time resident addressed the board about the historical commissions work and urged the township to take preservation concerns seriously as West Town plans a 250th celebration.
David Print said the historical commission is preparing a new edition of the West Town history book, planning marker dedications and coordinating celebration events with Chester Countys PA250 project. He criticized what he described as a supervisors dismissive treatment of a preservation-ordinance proposal and said it was "fully absurd" that the proposal was summarily dismissed rather than studied further. The board acknowledged the comment; no formal action was recorded in response.
The comment places historic-preservation advocacy on the public record; the resident asked the board to reconsider a preservation ordinance during anniversary planning and to engage the historical commissions volunteers and stakeholders.
