We are writing in support of the new Whole Foods coming to Upper St. Clair, because we share their commitment to high quality, organic, locally-sourced foods. While residents of USC for more than 25 years, we now live in South Fayette, but firmly believe this development will greatly benefit the surrounding South Hills communities. We regularly commute to the Wexford store, since we value the high quality of produce and other items offered by Whole Foods.

We hope the township officials are able to move through the delays we have seen over the last two years that will help turn the blighted property into a place to shop, eat, live and play. We have seen the plans showing spaces for restaurants, retail and many residences. We would love to stay in the South Hills to have dinner rather than commute into the city.

While the two USC residents continue to challenge this development, we look forward to the completion of the project and our new short drive to Whole Foods. We hope the rest of the community joins us in telling both of these residents to stop this obstruction and allow the community to benefit as soon as possible.
