As someone who has lived in this area for over 20 years, I whole heartedly agree there need to be changes. We drive thru Lillington frequently and rarely ever stop because of the lack of options. Over the years, I have poured far more money into Sanfords economy despite being a Harnett county resident. For Lillington to be the county seat there are so many limited options for dining, entertainment or basic needs and repairs.
Lizzie supported: Encourage Lillington to Modify Food Truck Restrictions for Improved Local EconomyPetaluma has a reputation far and wide for being a quaint little town. I'm 58 yrs old, born and raised in Petaluma, and I am completely saddened by the push to "compete" with bigger cities ! Please stop the notion that bigger is better !!!
Gina supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI moved here two years ago because of the historic look of downtown Petaluma and the lovely homes on the west end of town. Interesting businesses & restaurants are icing on the cake. Do we really need to make the downtown as blah as the east side? Do we really need another large hotel? There are so many in or just outside the town. Are they actually fully occupied enough to justify a new large hotel? What do the statistics show? The introduction of a structure that requires the town to overturn its current preservation plans is worrisome.
Richard supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI'm 70 and grew up in San Rafael. It was a cute little town and is not so "cute" anymore (in my opinion). I LOVE Petaluma for its adorable historic downtown with unique boutiques, restaurants, etc. It has a lovely combination of a country and small town feel. The Appellation Petaluma Hotel will do to Petaluma what happened to San Rafael. With no parking, you won't be able to park downtown to shop, eat, etc. The surrounding streets will be full of people parking in front of homes in quiet neighborhoods to go to the hotel. The city will likely put in parking meters which won't help the businesses on Petaluma Blvd, Kentucky and Forth Street. There is already 2-hour parking. We already have some nice hotels that to my eye are hardly bursting at the seams with guests, that are mostly in the architectural style of the historic sections of downtown. Six stories will be architecturally unappealing and the modern style will significantly clash with the architecture of the surrounding buildings. If we have to have a hotel, how about a 2-story (with underground parking) built in the style of the historic buildings here?
Kaitlyn supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI came to Petaluma 35 years ago. It was not “wine country” which had conquered my hometown. Appellation says nothing about Petaluma. It says wine tourist, the target clientele. I don’t want to see Petaluma’s unique identity replaced by one fixated on wine tourism. Walking in and trying to change the rules so they can have an outsized influence on Petaluma’s character and identity feels arrogant and disrespectful. I’m fine with change just not when it happens like this.
Eric supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelI certainly understand the council’s drive for increased tax revenue and growing Petaluma; however, it doesn’t have to be at the expense of what we hold dear. Tax revenue, growing our city, and maintaining the beauty and charm of our downtown are not mutually exclusive; we can find a way to accomplish all three.
Zach supported: Stop the sellout of Petaluma's Historic Downtown to approve oversized hotelMany teenagers, like myself, are politically educated and want a say in who rules our country. If the voting age is lowered, it means that younger voices would be heard, it would promote more voting, and possibly encourage more teens to educate themselves politically to prepare. Sixteen year olds should be allowed to vote and stand for what they believe in.
Lillis supported: Lower the National voting age to 16 in the United StatesYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
