A little more than 3 weeks ago I brought you word(Here and Here)that the County Plans to bring illegal Migrants to 2 area hospitals. Now it seems the County Council(and whomever they’re working with) have possibly had their eyes set on a place a lot closer to home(for me anyway), Don Guanella. This only makes sense with the resources on that property. Dorms and classrooms with tons of additional interior space just sitting there as it awaits its next use.

Don Guanella Village used to be a boarding school for the intellectually impaired. It is now a County Park where the buildings sit vacant.

Getting wind of this the Marple Commissioners Board authorized Advertisement of a Zoning Change, as required by law, for the Don Guanella Property at their last meeting. The proposed change will take Don Guanella FROM R-B RESIDENTIAL, R-C RESIDENTIAL AND INS INSTITUTIONAL TO OS OPEN SPACE. There will now be a Marple Township Planning Commission hearing March 28, a County Planning Commission Hearing TBD and ultimately a Special Marple Township Meeting scheduled for April 15th. Both planning committees are advisory committees only and will only play an advisory role. Ultimately the Marple Township Board of Commissioners will have the ultimate say on April 15th.

This letter from Marple township was sent out to residents within a certain distance of Don Guanella.

You now have to wonder if this is why when the county issued their statement(seen here) about me and my reporting being misinformation and Xenophobic, they didn’t flat out deny they were not working to put Illegal Immigrants anywhere in the County. Are there more locations like Don Guanella they are targeting? With plausible deniability at their disposal, the County Council will only continue to lie and spread misinformation about anyone who calls them out.
