NEW DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED FOR PENFIELD RD NEAR GENTLE'S

There is an important meeting Thursday, Oct. 13th at 7pm at Penfield Town Hall, 3100 Atlantic Ave. at which a developer will have an informal discussion with the Penfield Planning Board about building FIVE FOUR-STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS (183 +/- units) WITH A CLUBHOUSE and POOL halfway up the hill from Panorama Plaza across from the lower exit for the Allens Creek Valley Townhomes (half way up the hill to Gentle's Market).

There is much to be concerned about with regard to increased traffic, school crowding, and environmental distrubances on the steep slopes, changes in community character, etc..

If you can attend this meeting, please do so to learn more about this proposal and let the developer know of your concerns!

For more information, please see the attached sketch map and letter of intent.

Overview of the ACCGPG

The ACCGPG is a 501c(3) not-for-profit grassroots organization that was founded in 1994 in response to development pressures on the environmentally-sensitive lands in the Allens Creek Valley, located just outside of Rochester, NY, in the towns of Brighton and Penfield.

The ACCGPG strives to protect these lands (especially Corbett’s Glen Nature Park) from adjacent development by working towards expansion of the park borders through conservation easements and land acquisition, and by actively participating in governmental regulation of proposed development in the area.

How you can help

The community needs to protect its public investment in Corbett’s Glen Nature Park!

The public investment and public benefit from Corbett’s Glen far exceeds any possible benefit that can be delivered by this development.

It is imperative that the community once again rallies to indicate their concern of this insensitive and damaging proposal on the Allens Creek Valley!

You can get involved in several ways:

1. COME TO THE PUBLIC MEETINGS!! 

2. SEND AN EMAIL (or call!):
Send your concerns to the Penfield Planning Board at: planning@penfield.org and/or call your elected Penfield and Brighton town officials. Your input really does count!

3. JOIN THE ACCGPG to help us continue our preservation efforts!

4. MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION! We need your help in continuing our efforts to protect and preserve the Allens Creek Valley, including Corbett’s Glen Nature Park!

The ACCGPG is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that relies on the generosity of people who understand that our environmentally-sensitive lands are easy prey to the pressure of development as open land dwindles.

Your tax-exempt donation is deeply appreciated and will be used to further our preservation efforts so that future generations will be able to enjoy the beauty and splendor of the Allens Creek Valley!
