Concrete Plant Proposed for Point Washington

[Jim Tucker]

The propose concrete plant is being continued until July bcc. It needs to be noted that the project is allowed per the federal court ruling. the bcc is limited in action. Please do not over react. They should meet environmental regulations but the federal court has ruled.

No project is allowed per court ruling because any project has to go through an approval process, but the zoning was confirmed for the type of project. Any project still has to meet many hurdles like compatability, environmental, etc.

Somebody please compose a letter, and I will send it to the commissioners. Contact info is at http://www.co.walton.fl.us/default.asp?ID=2 .

BTW it's "Comander," not "Commander," as per the last name of one of our favorite SoWallers.

it is allowed per court ruling. yes, all county and state hoops apply. but, after those hoops, well then.... total disregard for all environmental concerns and/or residents naturally occurs with this kind of development. I hope it does not become the eyesore of SoWal, and the eventual ruin of peach creek and old pt washington.

BR, it is best if it written by each person, even if it is just two sentences stating whether or not you are for or agin it, and why. People don't like to read the same letter more than once. You can do it!

I thought mass emails are pretty effective. I know the ASPCA has done well recently on legislation due to members/interested parties emailing their reps with a "form letter." Can a standard letter be drafted with an automatic link to the proper person(s)' email? I bet if hundreds of emails were received, they'd take notice. I'd do it, but I'm not very tech-savvy.

If you want someone to read them, form letters are not the way to go, but I guess one would be better than no one writing at all. You don't have to be tech savvy to write a letter. You can just type it into a post in this thread if you want to, and people can copy and paste into their email.

What I was talking about is a link that you click on and just add your own name and it automatically forwards to the appropriate representative. My letter-writing skills are fine, thank you. ;-) It's the one-click ease-of-use mail-forwarding aspect I lack skill in.

I could be wrong, but I think hundreds of even the same email or form letter would have more impact than a dozen thoughtfully-drafted missives on the subject. What about an email petition? Maybe someone with more experience in this can tell me if that's true.

I've never heard of lazy hell-raisers. Send your five County Commissioners an email. It is really simple to do, even without a one-click method.

Meeting is tonight.
