More From Masah Trust

Dear Editor,

The Masah Trust would like to clarify a few statements made about our organization in your April 28 article, “Bridge to Sustainability—HSU students plan to transform Bridgeville.”

First, although we do plan to rebuild most of the town, (“demolish” as the article reads) this only includes land within the deed that we are trying to purchase.

The Bridgeville School, whose principal was interviewed for the article, is not part of the same deed and will therefore be unaffected. 

We want to rebuild the town because we've met with some of the Bridgeville community members and they expressed that they are willing to have their houses torn down, leveled, and rebuilt. Everything we do will be with consent from the community. We want to work with them to revitalize the town, boost the economy, create jobs and become self-sustaining. 

Finally, we want to recognize that our plans, although currently in the planning process and not set in concrete, are not just a rumor as Principal Mike Mullen suggests. We must first obtain the funding and support we need to make our aspirations a reality. But we are here, we have goals, and we are motivated. 
 
We believe a good education and environmentally-conscious communities can bring about the positive changes our world needs. If you agree and are interested in learning more about this project, come talk to us. We are not as “mysterious” as the article claims. In fact, we invite anyone interested in being a part of the Trust to come to our weekly Sunday meetings. You can also join our group on Facebook or contact us at MasahTrust@gmail.com if you want to know more.
