TAKE ACTION

On Monday March 26, Coudersport Area Municipal Authority (CAMA) will be having a meeting at 6:30PM. Council is providing bus transportation to the meeting for those who want to show our opposition to this reckless and environmentally dangerous proposed waste water project from Epiphany Allegheny LLC.

To sign up for the bus, call 716-945-1790 and ask for the Council office. The bus will leave the ACC at 4PM. A light bagged meal will be provided. The meeting room is small so come prepared to stand outside the building to rally peacefully and strongly. For those who want to drive themselves the location is at the Borough Maintenance Building, 48 Damascus St in Coudersport PA. As the public comment period is only 15 minutes with priority given to paying users of the municipal waste water system, it is suggested that those who want to have their voices heard on this issue write a letter to submit at the meeting. These will have to be entered into the meeting minutes. We have designed t-shirts for people to wear, 2 banners that people can hold, and we are suggesting people make creative signs to hold as well.
