Despite letters from the Summit Association of Realtors and the Friends of the Lower Blue (not to mention letters to the editor from residents around Summit County) the County continues to argue only Bills Ranch Neighborhood is opposed to the extinguishment and development of the Fiester Preserve. Only Commissioner Elisabeth Lawrence has acknowledged that the County neglected for public input in its process. She has agreed to a Community Conversation regarding the Fiester Preserve and the intended extinguishment of the conservation easement. It is imperative that we have representation from citizens around the county and beyond!
Please spread the word and join the conversation on Monday March 9th at 5:30 pm at the Community and Senior Center at County Commons....in the Hobby Room. We need your voice!
