August 13 Legal Update

The time has come for us to ask again for funds to support our legal effort. At this point, we need to raise approximately $15,000. This case is ever-evolving, and we are asking for money only as the need arises.


This community showed up for this movement before. At the start of this, we raised $30,000 in under 36 hours—an amazing feat. More than 100 donors contributed, and that money has carried this case for the past five months. We are now asking the community to show up again. Donations to the legal fight can be made in three easy ways:


We already have multiple $500 commitments. Please consider joining your neighbors in our continued fight. The only way we stand a chance of stopping the irresponsible development known as Hawk’s Landing is through this Judicial Review.


And now for an update on our case.


On August 3, David Weekley filed a motion to dismiss for lack of standing. In their motion, they argue that we are not sufficiently aggrieved by Hawk’s Landing to even ASK a judge to review the record.


We are not surprised by this. From the start, David Weekley has NOT been the community-minded developer that Connection Pointe Church has claimed they are.


We are not wavering. Our attorneys are working to file our response to this motion. The deadline to file that response is August 24, and we plan to meet that deadline. We are confident that we are sufficiently aggrieved by this development to have a judge review the record. We are asking that everyone now leave their yard signs in place until August 24.


Additionally, as you may recall, our attorneys have already filed the bulk of the official record. We were granted an extension by the Court to file additional documents we believed were missing. There is now a dispute with the Town of Brownsburg’s counsel regarding these additional documents. Therefore, in order to ensure these documents are included, our attorneys will be asking the Court to decide the matter.


When the Brownsburg APC approved the Hawk’s Landing plat after the February 23 meeting, we knew we were in for a fight. You have been with us every step of the way, and we hope you will continue to stand by our side as we work to right this wrong.


Please know that the leaders of this movement are always available to speak with supporters by phone or in person. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@stophawkslanding.com.
