Respondents' Comments to Question 39 |
| 1. | Super Tool Bldg |
| 2. | North Area with Green Belt, also pines (need more) great. KEEP NATURAL area on West side. Rotary sign, picnic area greatly improved. |
| 3. | The US 31 Corridor south of ER COULD be both better-looking and more in keeping with the "village" concept.
Remove all industrial buildings and foster "downtown-like" structures, giving the appearance of an 1800s village.
