Loss of Nature Center

I am involved in the fight against the loss of a nature center close to my home. If anyone knows of anyone who could help let me know.
The Robert E. Lucas Intermediate School campus known as RELIS (located in Sharonville under Princeton Schools) is being sold to Fischer Homes.
Fischer homes plans to tear down the school and nature center and build 420 condos and 30 single family homes.
This is a huge issue for the West Chester Township residents, especially those in Rolling Knolls.
We are trying to get more media coverage on this matter, and help to find green space conservationist who will take our side.

This really sucks! I hadn't heard about it. Since I grew up in Rolling Knolls (within walking distance of this site), it especially hits home for me. Keep me posted on how I can help.

Yeah, it does suck. I am working with my boss who lives on Amberwood.
I am sure your parents know people on Sprucewood who are fighting it too. It will bring the value of the homes down b/c of the loss of privacy.

Ugh! How horrible! Let me know how I can help.

As an aside, wasn't Fischer Homes the company that was embroiled in that illegal immigrant scandal awhile back? Whatever happened to that?

That stinks. We need more greenspace for our children. I can remember when I first moved here being surprised at how few parks/greenspaces there were.
