Please preserve the open space and maintain a better quality of life. Haddonfield does not need to join the rest of NJ in facilitating suburban sprawl.
Being raised in Haddonfield, having a extended family living there at present, and grandparents buried accross the street from the property I would truly love to have open space for my children and their descendants to visit and value memorys.
I support this petition. What a terrible shame it would be to lose this opportunity for much needed open space for the town - and yes, why not a skateboard park - it would save on the wear and tear on all the steps around the town buildings, churches, etc. OPEN SPACE FOR THE BANCROFT SITE!
I think it would be a very wise decision for the borough to acquire the Bancroft property.
Personally, I would love to see more open space in this town. It would be a gift that we could pass on to future generations of Haddonfield residents.
Let's provide the High School with much needed facilities, and the rest of us with a community center and more open space. Additional housing will only crowd the schools and our streets.
Do we really need more houses, more people our schools have to accommodate and more problems with development issues? Let's keep some of Haddonfield green and beautiful.
This is a great opportunity. This land should be used for the High School, a recreation center, or educational or cultural uses. The Borough needs to acquire the property.
The Haddonfield Borough needs to concern itself more with it's residents than their pockets. It's quickly loosing its appeal as one of South Jersey's most beautiful and 'historic' towns to live in.
Open space, use for the High School, Community or Performing Arts Center...please keep this space for the'current' residents of Haddonfield. Seems like there are enough homes on the market without buiding more.
I believe the best option is that Haddonfield acquire the property, and us it for educational/cultural purposes. Managed well, the site could return more revenue than any other option.
Let's make sure that this land is used for citizens of Haddonfield and not to line the pockets of speculators. This is an outstanding opportunity to improve our quality of life in a place that is becoming increasing congested.
Our homes, schools, and community areas are shoehorned together, split by the common thread of the Speedline. The urgency to acquire this once in a lifetime parcel of land for our community is blatantly obvious.
We certainly hope the "Borough" acts quickly to acquire the Bancroft property. The officials at Bancroft and interested developers won't wait two years for the "Borough" to make up its mind!
cobble together as much state and county funds as possible even if it means permanently designating some acreage to deed restricted open space. But don't let this impede quick and forceful action to acquire the property.
