Town Hall Meeting- The Follow Up

Wanted to apologize to everyone for the time mix up on the town hall meeting. It was 5-7, not 6-8pm. Hope everyone that wanted to come made it.
The meeting was to show the area residents the new Thompson Nursery Rd. alignment and answer any questions.
I have to say kudos to the county. It wasn't set up like the last town hall meeting with county commissioners taking questions. It was more of a road workshop with a brief video, lots of clear maps around the room, lots of county road employees answering questions, project road engineer there, as well as head guy Wade Allen. Most folks were just curious to see where in their backyard the road may go. Some were relieved and said they weren't touched, some realized it was definitely taking away their house.
There were people saying this was being done for CSX. Wade did stress to me that this project was not because of CSX coming. He said it has been in the pipeline along time, as most roads are and was just at this stage of the game. I told him that I understood that, but if you are not "in the know", it looks rather odd. I will say from my own experience (and I have my own issues with CSX) that I have to say he's right and it takes years to plan a road.
All in all it was an imformative meeting, at least I thought so.
