To the Editor:
Once again our beautiful town has a proposal for a multifamily housing complex. This will encompass 10 buildings with 60 bedrooms in a neighborhood of single-family homes. This will affect all of us in the future. If this project is allowed, it will open the door to other similar proposals, with the potential to place this type of housing anywhere land is available or not. Case in point, a developer buying multiple homes, then using that property for multifamily housing. We have all labored for many years to buy our homes in Orange away from overdevelopment that rests on our borders.
Though the proposal may possibly be age restricted, the future I feel will be very different for our schools, Volunteer Fire Department, and the character of our town. I urge you all to come to the Wetlands meeting on Oct. 3, Oct. 17 and Nov. 12, High Plains Community Center, 6:30 p.m. to listen to what is being said and voice your opinion. The health, safety, and welfare of you and your family depend on it.
