Stop Urban Housing from Coming to Rural Unincorporated Willard District of Greene County
The Issue
Case PB 2410 was approved. We've taken it to court.
A court case has real costs: filing fees, attorney fees, and preparing the record, all due now. This is funded by neighbors, not a PAC and not a developer. If you can help with the legal costs, the fund is here:

One important note. That Donorbox link is the only way to fund the legal effort. Change.org may show its own buttons asking you to “chip in” to promote this petition. Those go to Change.org, not to our legal fund. To support the case, use the Donorbox link above.
To everyone who signed, thank you. Here is where things stand.
On June 1, 2026, the Greene County Commission approved the rezoning in Case PB 2410, changing 14.31 acres off Highway AB from Suburban Residence (R-1) to Urban Residence (UR-1). The County's own Planning Board had recommended denying this rezoning twice. The County's own Comprehensive Plan calls this area rural residential. County planning staff stated it in the record: “The Greene County Land Use Plan has identified this area as suitable for rural residential uses.”
The approval is not the end of it. Our attorney has filed a petition for review in the Circuit Court of Greene County, Missouri, Case # 2631-CC00794, asking the court to review and reverse the decision. The approved 14.31 acres is the corner of a 93 acre tract, and nothing limits the owner from seeking to rezone the rest.
This site sits at the corner of Highways AB and EE, next to Willard Central Elementary, on rural roads that already carry heavy traffic.
Please keep sharing. We are close to 1,000 signatures, and every signature and every dollar helps.
