We as concerned residents, business owners, and environmental stewards are concerned and opposed to the filling in of the flood plain in Jackson Township on the property known as the Creekside Manor Development by Cranberry Creative Real Estate and Donnie Rodgers.



We are opposed to irresponsible development that will negatively impact the following:

We are in support of thoughtful, responsible development and community planning between contiguous municipalities.

We will employ every legal and ethical means of stopping the fill of this area and any destructive, irresponsible development in the area.

Update #18 years ago
There are been some small "wins" recently. First, the PA Dept. of Environmental Protect & Army Corp of Engineer's have told the developer that his plans underestimated the amount of wetlands. They requested new plans for review. Additionally, there PA Historical & Museum Commission has weighted in. They indicated an Archeological Phase 1 study must be complete to identify any impact.
