The mayor’s letter can be viewed in our last update post. Our letters in response to this have been sent to Vantage and ATC, as well as CC’d to important figures and officials. Both are posted below.

Donations Sought
Taking legal action to protect our interests will be costly. We will have to hire lawyers and consultants to help us develop our strategies and possibly litigate these issues. We have formed an LLC for the Protect Fredonia Coalition and have opened a bank account. We have been receiving donations from members of our community, with deep and sincere appreciation. If you would like to donate to support our cause, and our opposition to the power lines, please write a check to “Protect Fredonia LLC” Please send us a message or give us a call for check drop off details at this point in time.
Thank you for your support of this important cause!
