We were told a few years back that the plan was for industrial/commercial development along side Lanxess and through the Stroh and Martin farms. Of course the sweetener has always been the long needed and overdue "Elmira Bypass". The plans by the Township appeared to have Union St. split off in a north-east direction near Southfield Dr. (New Jerusalem Rd.). This new proposed Elmira By-Pass would go northwards up the east side of Elmira and run through both the more southern Martin farm and then through the Stroh farm.
Now of course these plans were kept quiet for many years (decades?) thus likely prompting Woolwich & Mayor Shantz's bizarre behaviour in 2014 when they turned upon their volunteer CPAC committee. CPAC had chosen to publicize and focus on the Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB) rather than on the DNAPL coverup, in the fall of 2014. Woolwich never truthfully told CPAC why they refused to reappoint them despite proper and appropriate applications which Mayor Shantz through out and demanded be done over again. It was an intentional and contemptible provocation and insult to CPAC which of course Chemtura and the corrupt Min. of Environment strongly favoured. Now we have a better idea why.
Normal people would view these manipulations, lies and devious behaviour as signs of political corruption. Of course politicians will never admit to such a thing but then they are trained, professional liars after all.
its always been about the upper North End (Pet food/Bio Corp and Merlihan/Woowich Observer and most importantly the long invested future North Industrial zone and getting a bypass and more recently they are using the crisis of the Stroh homestead being contaminated as the key to making it happen politically! It's the done deal that nobody wants to pay for!
