Our Point of View
When you look out your window, when you drive to work, when you glance at your tax bill, the case for open space preservation has been made. Friends of Worcester's mission is to preserve open space and conserve our rural and historic heritage. Municipalities throughout the area are acting forcefully now to stop uncontrolled development. Some have arrived at the point of action too late -- their communities are forever marred by the worst of suburban sprawl. How can we avoid this in Worcester?

Worcester Township is at a crossroads. The farms and woodlands that make our community unique are also the magnets that attract developers. We are one of the last remaining municipalities within a 40-mile radius of Philadelphia that is still green. We are in this position because of the strong leadership and foresight of the supervisors who served our community for many decades. Slow, deliberate decision making was appropriate in the past. But in the last decade, Worcester has almost doubled in population. We are among the fastest growing municipalities in Montgomery County.
