WILLOWBROOK PLACE APARTMENTS APPLICATION UPDATE - 5/1/2022

 WILLOWBROOK PLACE APARTMENTS APPLICATION UPDATE - 5/1/2022

The developers are seeking to develop a 108 unit apartment complex that will significantly increase traffic flows on Piper Street in both directions through our neighborhood. Our neighborhood has hired legal representation and fought back three prior applications. We have a pending lawsuit against the developers for seeking approval for a use inconsistent with the community covenants. 

We still need financial assistant to fund the experts and legal representation necessary to mitigate the impact of this land use proposal. The community retained the services of David A. Bricklin, Esq. and are pursuing all legal remedies to mitigate the impact of the propose apartments. 

To assist in funding the legal challenge, please visit our gofundme site:  https://gofund.me/55a384e6

There is a transaction fee with gofundme, so if you prefer checks can made out to Willowbrook Community Association and be mailed or dropped off to 217 Sitka Ct. Note Legal fund on the check.

Hello,

We are trying to get the word out and communicate with our community.  

Would it be possible for you to pass on to your Home Association Community the following information so that they may know a little more about us?

 

Please allow me to introduce you to the Richland Police Department Foundation ( Foundation). The Foundation was established in 2017 and is a 501c-3 nonprofit organization.

 

The mission of the Foundation is to support the Richland Police Department in building a safer community. With the generous donations of our community members and businesses, 100% of the funds received are used for Education & Officer Training, Morale, Emergency Assistance and Community Care.

 

Since 2017, the Foundation has sent officers out of state for additional training, provided scholarships to officers seeking further education, hosted private picnics and holiday gatherings for the officers and their families, and has provided countless opportunities for officers to assist community members in time of need.

 

The Board for the Foundation currently has 8 members and we are actively seeking new Board members to join us. All of our members are community minded volunteers who wish to assist the Richland Police Department in their efforts to keep this a great place to live. The Board meets once a month for planning purposes of upcoming events.  Subcommittees may hold additional meetings. Board members and volunteers do not have to be Richland residents. No experience needed - just a desire to meet others, assist in planning events, and outreaching.  We have a lot of fun!

 

For more information on the Richland Police Department Foundation, volunteering, and donation opportunities, please visit our website at www.richlandpdf.org or facebook Richland Police Department Foundation.

Hope to hear from you.

A Very Happy New Year to you!!

Thank you!

Warm regards,

Karen
