The recent neighborhood meetings at State College clearly

further development until we are certain that these matters
will be adequately mitigated before any further development
occurs.
Therefore, an ordinance has been prepared declaring a
moratorium on the issuance of any further building permits
and processing of any applications until there has been a
complete review of all of the above issues, as they pertain
to the Verdemont/State College area.
