Corry debate pits local control against state land use plans
In Corry Pennsylvania a statewide land use discussion drew farm groups and local officials, with Glynn Knight Mark McClelland and Ned Goucher leading a two hour session sponsored by the Erie County League of Women Voters. Participants argued for local solutions vs state intervention, warning of shrinking farmland and potential food supply limits. John Dick urged local handling of land questions while Charles Dodd warned of septic tank policies harming waterways. Union City’s Harry Smiley opposed broad statewide assessments, calling it an overreach. Farmer John Moravek said subsidies are not wanted, just fair returns on investments.
