Pocono Manor, PA – Vincent M. Pompo, partner and chairman of the Municipal Law Department and the Environmental Law Practice Group, accepted the 2012 Government Conservation Leadership Award on behalf of East Bradford Township (Chester County). The award was presented by The Pennsylvania Land Trust Association, and was awarded to the township for their demonstrated leadership in the conservation of our special landscapes and critical natural resources.
The award was presented Saturday, May 5th in conjunction with the 10th Annual Pennsylvania Land Conservation Conference in Pocono Manor. “The township greatly appreciates the support of its residents and taxpayers for the open space program over many years,” stated Vincent M. Pompo. “East Bradford Township exemplifies the leadership needed at the local government level to make conservation a reality,” said Andy Loza, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Land Trust Association, “And we thank them for that.”
For 30 years, East Bradford Township (Chester County) has been a leader in the protection of open space, scenic, historic, and environmentally sensitive resources. Located next to West Chester Borough, the Chester County seat, and Downingtown Borough, East Bradford has worked to preserve roughly 6,000 acres – more than 60% of its land mass – during a period when neighboring municipalities were rapidly overtaken by suburban development. More recently, the Township also has embarked on an ambitious program to develop a public trails network to link residents to their open space resources, constructing nearly 20 miles of trails, including links into Downingtown and West Chester.
