Carroll Citizens for Sensible Growth is a not for profit, community group of concerned citizens, who are active in the Northern York Area.
We believe that all people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania's public and natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come.
We believe that everyone is entitled to adequate public facilities these include but are not limited to WATER, SEWER, FIRE, POLICE, EMS, TRANSPORTATION and SCHOOLS.
