🌿 HEREFORD MANOR LAKE PROPERTY UPDATE 🌿
Franklin Township continues to make great progress toward the acquisition and preservation of the Hereford Manor Lake property!
The Township currently has an agreement with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to purchase approximately 392 acres for $470,400.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our residents, local businesses, and surrounding communities, we have received over $39,806 in donations. We are also extremely grateful to the Beaver County Sportsman’s Conservation League for committing $100,000 toward the project, along with the $300,000 grant previously secured by the Township.
Our goal is to preserve this property as public greenspace for future generations, providing opportunities for recreation, wildlife habitat preservation, watershed protection, and environmental education.
💚 Thank you to everyone who has donated and supported this effort! Every contribution, large or small, helps move this important project forward.
Those wishing to contribute may make checks payable to Franklin Township, designated for the Hereford Manor Lake Property. Donations to Franklin Township for public greenspace may be tax-deductible under Section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code for those who itemize deductions. Donors should obtain written acknowledgment from the Township and consult a tax professional regarding eligibility.
For questions or additional information, please contact the Franklin Township office.
Thank you for helping us preserve this valuable community resource for generations to come!
