As a preface to any contact being made: Please remain kind and courteous. The people we reach out to are good people who are doing their jobs. We want to build a partnership with them. We want to help them see the vision for Floyds Fork. We are not against developments and we are not against growth. We just want our city and developers to protect the Floyds Fork watershed. We don't want them to alter, fill, or build in the floodplain. We want them to respect, honor and even strengthen the Floyds Fork Development Review Overlay (DRO). As the proverb states: "A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare."
