Planning Commission meeting with Toll Brothers is scheduled for this Thursday, 6:30pm, Stetson Middle School. The Westtown Historic Commission will make their presentation. I realize this is a very busy time of year for everyone and as I think I may have mentioned before, I do not think it is an accident that Toll Brothers has decided to present their plans through the entire holiday season. Just like I do not think it was an accident the last meeting was right before Thanksgiving and their very first 'last minute' meeting with the Westtown BOS was right before the 4th of July holiday. It is imperative we show up and fill the auditorium!!! There are 405 seats... please do what you can to attend.
