A new campaign by the ABT focusing on a proposed development right next to the First Day's battlefield at Gettysburg. Anyone who has stopped at the waystation right across from the Reynolds & Buford statues on the Chambersburg Pike, this is right behind the woods and is literally next to Willoughby Run. It most certainly would be right on the ground that regiments from Pettigrew, Archer and other brigades went through. It would also create a visual obstruction in an area that doesn't have one right now and would be right in your face, as well as any sunset photos you'd take too. It's currently the closest proposed development to the battlefield in recent years.

Below are Google map images of where the location is, with the yellow arrow marking the general area of the proposed apartments:
Willoughby Run in the winter is easy to get to from the nearby Meredith Ave park road. I've walked down to it and can easily be crossed in the winter. Rather overgrown in the summer, but either way the apartments would be right there and very visible in the winter. I'll try to find some images in my collection of photos.
