January, 2007

Mama Lena's Restaurant, formerly the Guthriesville General Store and Post Office, is proposed for demolition at the new Wawa store site at the corner of Rt. 322 and Bondsville Road. Wawa has offered to permit the building to remain, even though a demolition permit has been granted, as long as Wawa is not responsible for adaptive reuse, preservation or ongoing maintenance. With that in mind, would you, as a resident, be in favor of:

1)  Spending Township funds in order to preserve and maintain the building? 

2)  Spend Township funds from a general account which may necessitate a tax increase? 

3)  Designate a special account such as was accomplished with the Open Space Referendum where each taxpayer/household pays a set amount per year? 

4)  With approximately 2,200 households and estimated restoration costs in excess of $300,000, would you be willing to pay $50/year over 2 or 3 years for restoration? 

5)  Would you be willing to contribute up to $50/year for annual maintenance in the event the building cannot be sold?
