Less than 4% of the land included in the expansion is designated for jobs, but jobs are what fund the majority of our city services. That’s why we need to review land each year for possible jobs expansions. Let your council member know: [email protected].

The city’s $135,000 planning study shows that the development process takes more than twice as long here than the national average. And now, there is a proposal for 60 more pages of red tape. Tell the Council that we need less bureaucracy: [email protected].

A proposed planning ordinance is so onerous that if it had been in place years ago, it wouldn’t have allowed developments such as Southland Dr., the Distillery District and National Ave. Tell the Council that we need less bureaucracy: [email protected].
