We are a newly formed, non-politically affiliated, group of residents dedicated to the preservation of our quality of life and the protection of our dwindling residential neighborhoods.
For far too long important issues to our community involving land development and regulations have flown under the radar, silently pushed along by paid lobbyists and special interests.
They get approval over the objections of the Planning Department with little attention drawn. Applications slide through our system with little public input and rare opposition, eventually to be approved by an overburdened City Commission who rely too heavily on the Planning Boards recommendations and thus the damage to our community is permanently done and our citizenry eventually asking themselves “how in the heck did that happen?”
How will we achieve our mission and accomplish our goals?
It comes down to education and participation. We’ll provide notice, insights, education, direction, and with your all-important participation (e.g. signing petitions, letters to Board Members and Commissioners and if able, attending meetings—all information will be available on our website www.protectourresidentialneighborhoods.com) and together we can make a real difference!
