Save Upper Allen is a grass roots effort by concerned citizens with common interest in avoiding over development of the township.   We are bi-partisan.

For 20+ years, the five member Board of Commissioners has been under the control of the same incumbents who encouraged rampant development and then raised our taxes from .25 to 2.75 mills – an eleven fold increase.   

Over development has placed tremendous burden on township services, the Mechanicsburg Area School District, and long time residents who are forced to help pay for it all.

There was a prior Save Upper Allen website in 2010 which shows just how long the push back against over development in Upper Allen has been mounting.    

The current website was started by Eric Fairchild in 2023 to provide information on township issues and support his and Phil Walsh candidacy for Township Commissioners.    Eric also developed the Friends of the Farm website in his years long effort to save the historic Lambert Farm on McCormick Rd. and steer Generations Park toward mostly passive use.

Eric and Phil won their election in 2023 and are now 20 months into their terms. The incumbents have mostly stymied their efforts and recently used unethical means to reappoint one of their own (vs. 12 other applicants) to a Board Vacancy in order to continue their control of the Board of Commissioners.

We continue our core message of “Save It Before They Pave It” and are proud to have supported Martha Judy Bailey and Marjorie Taylor in the May 20, 2025 Republican primary.  

Judy will be on the November 4, 2025 general election ballot for Upper Allen Township Commissioner and we hope 2025 will be the year for regaining citizen control of our township government.

Policies that we support include more trails connecting neighborhoods and parks, land and open space preservation, historic preservation, no tax increases and greater transparency.

All information and photos on this site are free for anyone to use or share.  We hope our information is useful to residents, voters and others.
