To
the
Greenville City Council... Vote Yes on the Zoning change for Trilogy
Betty Birt
Editor:
I
can’t
wrap my head around the thought process that the Zoning Commission used
in
creating obstacles for a company that wants to bring 70 full time and
30-40
part time jobs to a Community that has a 7.3% unemployment rate(Darke
County/April). Do
any of the members of
the Commission drive down Wagner or Russ Road and just casually observe
the
empty, abandoned buildings? (Bob
Evans,
shame on you for allowing your former establishment to sit boarded-up,
unsightly and unkempt, while continuing to profit from our Community.) The former China Buffet
and video store offer
space for your coveted dining and retail.
Can’t the Zoning Board envision that by
allowing the zoning change this
will allow this land to be developed.
Jobs be available and the customer base for
the existing businesses will
be enlarged by staff, residents and family members?
The
Zoning
Commission is creating obstacles for Trilogy, a company that will create an opportunity
for 100 new jobs
for Greenville. The Zoning Commission has a different vision for the
unused
parcel of land that
has been for sale
for 10+ years? I
can’t grasp why the
Zoning Commission would think that another black-topped strip mall
would be
more eye pleasing and a better “gateway”than a health care community
with
trees, green space, landscaped areas and new maintained buildings.
I
strongly
urge City Council to over-ride the Zoning Commission and approve the
re-zoning
of the Russ Road property allowing for 100 new jobs and economic
development.
