IT'S A DONE DEAL!Community Conservation in ActionWith a few strokes of a pen, the Wingfield Pines property was conserved forever when Allegheny Land Trust closed on the property on Friday, January 28, 2001. Thanks to months of negotiating, volumes of grant proposals and the shear determination of dozens of people who dedicated their time and money, the vision of the property as protected open space is now a reality! There were several moments over the past year when it looked bleak, but each time the community responded with contributions to keep the project moving. As the purchase deadline neared, ALT was facing a $100,000 gap in funding. To meet contractual deadlines with the seller and to avoid the possibility of losing the property, ALT decided to borrow the funds, something the trust has not done before. To celebrate protection of this wonderful piece of local open space and to thank ALT for taking the necessary bold steps to close the deal, won't you please make your contribution today. |
