Absolutely YES.

It’s quite literally a NIMBY because the president of the GVNA has property the butts up to the development. It’s ironic they complain about the infrastructure not being able to support the increase in traffic, I guess they don’t understand how CIDs work and that the project will bring in additional tax dollars for those improvements that are necessary.

Umm except there’s a 10 year tax deferment. So the increased city’s resources will not be funded for another 11 years at best.

What about the sales tax generated from the commercial units? What about the increase in revenue for all Galloway businesses from the residents?

Also, why weren’t any of the other developments in the Galloway area protested to the same extent? Karen go NIMBYYYYYY

Those same retail units that could’ve been generating sales tax have been closed for 4 years because this developer forced them out with the intent of bulldozing the buildings.

Yes, that is necessary to build a more profitable endeavor. The length of time it has taken is at no fault of the developers, quite the contrary.

Wendy worked extensively with the neighborhood and conservationists to preserve the mature tree cover and design an area that was cohesive with the neighborhood. That’s what GVNA is asking for, not no development ever.

Convenient excuse. Why were there no efforts to save those mature trees where the other developments in Galloway? If I had to guess, probably because they weren’t next to her property.

Those developments were essentially unknown. There was a definite lack of community involvement during the original blighting all those years ago. I didn't know anything was going on there until construction started.
