Land Development

By Dorothy "Nesbitt" Nesbitt

I believe it is essential to have local control over the planning for housing, parks, recreational facilities, open space, etc.

One of the first tasks will be to develop a General Plan and I want to make sure that everyone has a voice in the process. I believe that, as we listen, debate, refine and educate each other, a plan will come forth with elements of compromise that will make us all partners in the planning of our community.

Housing must be balanced to provide opportunity to all those desiring to live here--seniors with limited resources, people seeking entry level positions in the growing commercial base, our adult children coming "home" as well as families of all sizes and ages. Parks, playfields and recreational centers must be scattered throughout the area so that children and adults have adequate places to meet, walk, play or simply enjoy the out-of-doors.
