Cecil Township, Washington County, PA
Last week the Board of Supervisors for Cecil Township in Washington County, PA, caved to pressure from radical leftists and, by a vote of 3-2, instructed the town’s solicitor to prepare a new zoning ordinance that increases setbacks from “protected structures” from 500 feet to 2,500 feet (half a mile), and add a setback of 5,000 feet from schools and hospitals (almost a full mile, see Cecil Twp Hellbent to Ban New Shale Drilling via 2,500-Ft Setback). It is a ban on new shale drilling in the township, plain and simple. The new shale drilling ban zoning ordinance is now available for all to read (below) and will be discussed (i.e., rammed through in a vote) at a board meeting on Nov. 4.
