Neighborhood Support for Development

Letters From People in Support of Chinook Ridge

Prior to the Land Redesignation Hearing Chinook Ridge received 105 letters of support from most where from neighbors (Dogpount to Bottrel) but also others who wanted to visit and use the facility.  At the time of the Hearing over 80 people came out to stand in support at Council Chambers, they had to bring in extra seating.  Some drove themselves to the Hearing while others rode in a bus I provided – due to lack of parking at the old County office.

An additional 56 letters of support were written by business owners and employees in and around Water Valley and Cremona areas, people who realized what economic benefits tourists bring to the area.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this vision of economic vitality, rather they exhibit a negative attitude towards ‘new-comers, tourists, etc’ in a ‘not in my back-yard’ fashion.
