 Since HLT’s early history, its
founders and supporters have acted to preserve the health, beauty, and quality
of life in the Deer Creek Watershed. In recent years, the HLT became a landowner
on Deer Creek and a neighbor to the local residential and farm community, as
well as H.P. White Laboratories, a munitions research and testing facility. The
Harford Land Trust found itself in a unique position when our board was asked
to evaluate H. P. White’s land and business situation as a result of the
company’s request of a zoning change. The business wanted to expand its
operations, and to do so, would require upzoning Agricultural (AG) zoned land
to General Industrial (GI) zoning. The HLT board gathered information from
local organizations, neighbors and people who care about the environment. We
spoke with the landowners, investigated the property, and with the help of
concerned members of the community, considered whether the zoning change would
be positive. HLT decided to take action.
