Many recent Blogs have been about growth and the large Reinnhold developement in particular. The longest running discussion has probably been the " beltway " We need that to make this developement viable. We are told it will bring economic developement and jobs with no long comute. The economic developement will be the building industry and most jobs will be temporary. The road is a necessity to move theese new people in and out without facing our current grid lock. We have a new school under construction miles from anything, which is a huge marketing incentive. Now, a new school needs water. We are now paying for a new water line out of our utility rates. This is no ordinary water line either. This pipe is bigger than any I have seen in Clay Co. in my 36 years here. The Plant feeding it is certainly going to have to be expanded and we can't expect Meyers to front that cost. You and I will handle that too'  Are Impact fees really all that bad?

  I didn't see the BCC meeting and am confused about the discussioon on land donated for belt-way. DOT can't accept donated land and I was under the impression that the turnpike authority group was going to build it or a foreign investment co. I can't imagine it not being a CDD so it can be done with somebody else's money.
