Residents Against Frankford’s Relocation, RAFR, is a group formed entirely to oppose Frankford Hospital’s proposal to build a 375,000 sq. ft. hospital, as well as, two 40,000 sq. ft. buildings at Route 332, (Newtown Bypass), and Stony Hill Road, on the corner next to the Shady Brook Farm.
This land is zoned Office/ Research. We oppose the “special exception” that Frankford Hospital is asking of the Lower Makefield Township’s Zoning Hearing Board.

SAY "NO" TO MORE TAXES!
Frankford Hospital will not be a tax ratable.
1. The LMT Supervisors said that our taxes will be raised to pay for increased services
for police, fire, and other personnel.
2. We will not benefit from the SUBSTANTIAL tax revenue that would be generated by
a for-profit office building at that site.
SAY "NO" TO MORE TRAFFIC CONGESTION!
The intersection of Stony Hill Road and the Route 332 Bypass has the worst traffic congestion of any in this area. Frankford Hospital will clog this intersection. Frankford plans to close their hospital at Oxford Valley.
Can the intersection of Route 332 and Stony Hill Road handle this hospital traffic?
How will the screaming ambulances be able to move through that traffic?
ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT, ALL THE TIME!
24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year. Emergency Room. Helicopter Pad.
More Noise and Lights. All will have a negative impact on the balance of agriculture and suburbia.
IT IS NOT NEEDED!
Frankford stands alone without Jefferson by their side. If bankruptcy is their future, your future will be looking at an empty hospital complex for years to come. |

2. DONATE TO HELP PAY FOR ATTORNEY
RAFR has hired an attorney to fight for all of us. We need to pay his fees in order to continue this fight to the end! It will be less costly to send a contribution now than to pay increased taxes later.

3. WRITE LETTERS!
The Zoning Hearing Board needs to hear your concerns. In the body of the email/letter write a brief letter stating rational reasons why you do not want the hospital at the Shady Brook Farm location. Sign your name and address.
Send to: David Malinowski, Chairman, Lower Makefield Township Zoning Hearing Board, 100 Edgewood Rd, Yardley.
