Hello neighbor,

Important meeting change - The schedule for the Ardmore RFP developer presentations has been changed. Note your calendar for the new dates and time for public interviews with four developers - Strategic Realty, EBL&S, Dranoff Properties, and BET Investments - now scheduled for Wednesday, November 28th and Thursday November 29th at 6:30 PM. Both meetings will be held at the Township building in the Board Room. Each developer will make a multimedia presentation of no more than 40 minutes which will be followed by 50 minutes of questions from the public and the Board of Commissioners Economic Revitalization Committee - a total of 90 minutes for each developer interview.

Comments for township - SAC urges everyone to send in their comments, questions and thoughts about these development proposals to the Township before Wednesday November 21st. Community feedback will be incorporated into the developer presentations. Send your thoughts to and a copy to SAC will be forwarding comments on to commissioners and others with a role in this developer selection process.

130 Cricket Avenue - The Lower Merion Township Zoning Hearing Board has issued its opinion in the matter of SW Land Associates' 130 Cricket Avenue proposed development ....the developers' application for a special exception has been denied! SAC opposed the granting of the special exception to the developers and is thrilled with the Zoning Hearing Board's decision. The Opinion lists numerous ways in which the Zoning Hearing Board felt that the developers failed to sustain its burden of proof and therefore it denied the application. The opinion can be found on the SAC website:

The developers have 30 days to appeal the decision (until December 15th) but this is a huge victory for Ardmore.
