Editor:
Although I believe that the racetrack may be good for the city, I do not agree with the proposed location.
This type of venue is better suited away from a residential area and more suited for an area like the airport. There are some very nice homes that will be within a few meters from the site and with RV parking right behind these houses does not sit well with me.
I know the owner of the lots in front of the proposed track and feel his chance of selling these will be zero if passed. Being that close to an elementary school is also another potential bombshell waiting to go off. The rodeo and this type of entertainment are two very different things and therefore should not be placed in the same context.
I wish Mr. Lynn success, but I will be opposing this project and I ask others in the community to do likewise. There are other more suitable locations for this type of facility.
