Blackridge Light-Up Night

Though cold and very snowy, this year's 2nd annual Light-Up Night was wind-free, allowing us to actually light the luminary this year! We also had a great turn out helping to create another great success.
The neighborhood looked lovely all lit up, thanks to those who participated and for being a BCA member!

Drilling Information

Many homeowners are deeply concerned about the impact of a major gas drilling operation so close to our community. With all the pressure to sign contracts and all the confusing information that's being pushed at our community, we've compiled a Drilling Info page with reliable websites, articles and research. Check back often for updates and feel free to send any questions to blackridge.webmaster@gmail.com.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE FULLY INFORMED ABOUT:

• Your legal liabilities and tax ramifications of leasing your mineral rights
• Marcellus Shale gas extraction methods
• Hydraulic Fracturing to Access Gas
• Quality of Life disturbances (noise, dirt, vibrations, explosions, pollution)
• Experiences of homeowners where drilling has already occurred
• Rural versus suburban gas drilling issues
• Short term and long term consequences of gas drilling on property values and communities
