As residents of Green Cove Springs, we've enjoyed the tranquility and peace of our country lifestyle. Our days are colored by low traffic and a peaceful environment. However, a significant threat to this lifestyle is looming in the form of a proposed 200+ unit apartment complex at the corner of 209 South & Highway 17 South. This development, with the potential for generating more traffic congestion, could threaten the safety and peace of our neighborhood. Studies have indicated that increase in population density could result in an increase in potential criminal activity (Branas et al., 2011, American Journal of Public Health). The impact of such a drastic change is not to be underestimated. We believe in growth, but not at the expense of our country lifestyle and the peace and tranquility we've grown to love. We need your help to voice our concerns to the local authorities. This is not just about opposing the impact on traffic and potential criminal activity, it is about preserving the serenity and essence of our beloved 209 South. Sign this petition to join us in our fight to prevent the construction of this 200+ unit apartment complex in our neighborhood.
