Sent from my iPhone42 years here & we have never heard so many people regret what is happening in our town.
Growth used to be slower & welcome. Not the acres of row apartments with no trees or yard s replace the verdant
fields & displace our free roaming animals. The farm that surrounded our home & was home to deer, hawks ,
gophers, ermines, bears, eagles & other birds is gone & row condos will block our once treasured views. Many other
citizens who have helped grow this town have suffered these negative changes. Other towns have been able to stop
unwelcome overdevelopment. Why must we endure it? To what end ?? Regret and hindsight as so many new
problems are created will be the result. What we all had & appreciated here was precious. What is being created
will be the cause of complaint & disappointment in years to come. I for one will treasure my memories of how it
used to be. Growth & change can be controlled to the benefit of all… sincerely & sadly, Kathryn Jensen
