Respondents' Comments to Question 89 |
| 1. | Bring jobs! | | 2. | Just north or south of village on US-31 corridor | | 3. | Need to keep families here. | | 4. | At Industrial Park only. | | 5. | We need to attract light industry to provide good paying jobs to the community. Minimum wage type jobs that only serve the tourist are not acceptable. Permanent residents need affordable housing, safe lit streets (especially near the schools) and more job opportunities. Our children have a wonderful place to grow up and go to school --- but they can't afford to live here as adults! |
