Louise Lawarre, a co-founder of GAPP, said the group was formed after those incidents to make a statement for harmony in the community. The group opposes the Hamilton County engineer's efforts to create a major state highway through Harrison, Crosby and Colerain townships. The group doesn't like the county's plan to convert 18 miles of scenic, rural roads into a truck corridor.
