Plan to sell off former scout camp for development in Roxborough rattles neighbors
Neighbors rallied against development to preserve not only the land, but the area’s rural vibe created by the concentration of the scout tract, the center’s already large wooded land holdings, and the adjacent Upper Roxborough Reservoir. Green Tree Run flows through the scout tract, and a nearby “Toad Detour” protects amphibians crossing the road each spring.
The center had previously been unsuccessful in seeking grants to preserve the land. So officials announced in June that they were requesting potential buyers to submit proposals to keep building at a minimum. The land is zoned for single- and multifamily homes, passive recreation, adult and child care, community centers, and community gardens or farms.
