  Respondents' Comments to Question 122
1.in industrial park
2.We need light industry for jobs and a tax base but we don't need to give up our small town atmosphere by overdevelopment and excessive restrictions.
3.At Industrial Park only.
4.To keep families here probably necessitates more light industry (for jobs). That is preferable to me than being a bedroom community for TC.
5.I support continued development of an ecologically minded town with a balance of light industry.
