Commissioners: Please Vote NO to Library Move
Dear Upper Dublin Commissioners,
We, the Upper Dublin residents and taxpayers, love the library exactly where it is and would like you to reconsider moving it to the industrial park. Not only will it take a valuable resource away from our HS students, especially for those who don't have the luxury of a car or a ride, it will also take away our treasured small town feel, that so many are willing to pay a premium for. Aside from the tax implications, it could possibly become a Pandora's box for openings along highland ave into the office park. If you carve one entrance, then the rest can follow, and that is to the detriment of so many living along those roads. I think we can agree, that we are not in the business of lowering property values.
We would appreciate you reconsidering this decision, and would like for you to postpone your formal vote..until you have given the community a chance to fully voice their opinions, as this decision will affect our township for years to come. Better yet, vote NO on this proposal, because that is what your constituents want.

Why is this important?
We have started this petition for those residents who feel that their voices are NOT being heard. We do NOT support a move of the Upper Dublin Public Library from its current location near the Township Building and High School to its new location in the Fort Washington Business Park. Moving the library is the first step in the over-development of the office park. Please sign this petition and include your ward number and reasons for requesting a NO vote from your Commissioner.
The vote by the Board of Commissioners to move the library is scheduled to take place on March 12, 2019, at 7:00 pm in the township building. We strongly encourage everyone to attend this important meeting. We also urge everyone to reach out to their Commissioner with their own letter using the contact information we have provided. Our Commissioners are saying that they are not hearing our opposition to this project. Let’s be heard! Vote NO on the library moving!
