Halted Walgreens Development Costing CV Taxpayers Thousands in Revenue

The removal of the Shoppes on Bower Hill has wiped out thousands of property tax dollars from the Scott Township and Chartiers Valley School District coffers.

Our solicitors tell us there is nothing we can do to make them finish. They have complied as far as starting, but now it is stalled. We are trying to get a solution to this frustrating situation.
