The people are upset. A follow-up meeting was held December 11 to begin discussing what people can do to redirect development policies and preserve the regional character and environment that has made this area a desirable place for many people to live. About 30 people attended the follow-up meeting and they appear serious about doing something. The group included local elected officials, candidates who want to run on an anti-sprawl platform, rural and urban residents, and people who have been directly and negatively effected by sprawl. Another meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 8 at 7 pm in the basement of the Eau Claire Public Library.
Interested individuals are welcome to attend and participate.
