The wrong place
I am totally disappointed in what you are trying to do by even considering to allow a regional sports complex in our Glenrose community! This is a rural area with many deer, elk, coyote, geese, ducks, eagles, hawks, horses, cows, bison, etc. This type of development should only be for a small community recreation area for this neighborhood and not for a regional complex center with massive lights and noise with too many autos traveling on unsafe rural roads at high speeds.
Many deer cross the road to feed and drink at all times. You will destroy this beautiful environment by allowing this project to attract people from many states and Canada to come for sporting events in our community! SYSA will make money on this travesty of a sports facility that no one wants out here that will affect the lives of all of us as well as the animals that live here.
What are you thinking?? This is not the place for this type of regional sports complex so SYSA can make money at our expense. Please reconsider and be in favor keeping this beautiful Glenrose area in its natural state of beauty for the neighborhood and animals that all live and share as home here. We all live here because of its beauty and history of the area and it needs to be protected for future generations.
I love sports but this is the wrong place for this type of regional sports facility.
