Opposition to Chandler Hall Plan Builds
Several Newtown area residents have sent comments to the PA Office of the Attornet General (OAG) opposing the sale of non-profit Chandler Hall to a for-profit real estate LLC. The must review this transaction to ensure that it does not adversely affect the health needs of the community.
Residents have argued that the sale WOULD adversely affect the health and wellbeing of the community.
- “The YMCA rental of space in Chandler Hall facilities provides the local community with ready access to exercise equipment and healthy living activities,” notef one resident. “I personally use these facilities for weight management and strength maintenance. Like many of this YMCA’s clients I am an older retired individual, who would find it a hardship to seek these services elsewhere.”
- “The sale of Chandler Hall Health Services to the proposed buyer, CIG/99 Barclay PropCo, LLC. a commercial real estate development project would not serve the best interests of Chandler Hall residents, employees, Newtown Borough, Newtown Township, Bucks County or Pennsylvania unless the buyer is bound by conditions preserving the current Quaker-based mission and operating practices, including the YMCA and child care leases, as well as published capital improvements to Chandler Hall’s infrastructure,” said another resident.
