Letter to the president and CEO Norfolk Southern Corporation

I have spent the past several months researching and then composing a letter to the president and CEO of Norfolk Southern Corporation (see links below), arguing on behalf of citizens of Lancaster concerned about the relocation of an expanded Norfolk Southern Switching Yard, and flooding concerns in conjunction with the "Crossings Shopping Center" proposed for the adjacent property. Some of the pertinent reference materials for the letter to Norfolk Southern is included.  There is also a link to the response letter from Norfolk Southern.

About

We are trying to get the word out about incorporating the Deisley farm into Long’s Park of Lancaster rather than building another shopping mall increasing congestion on Harrisburg Pike and the Rte. 30 interchange. Long’s Park is approximately seventy acres and was recently given four acres on the south edge along the stream by R.R. Donnelley and Sons Company. The park is locked in by Rte. 30, the railroad, Donnelley and Harrisburg Pike.
