HomeMy WebLinkAboutCarol and Jud Hawk_22-FEB-26Dear Garfield County Leadership,
I am writing to express our support of the Harvest Roaring Fork community. Our daughter is
a teacher in the RFV has been priced out of the valley and her dream of homeownership for
her family will potentially involve an hour commute. We raised our children in Basalt and
we know how special the valley is but if we can’t provide affordable homeownership
options in our valley for the kids we raised here we are doing them a huge disservice. I get
the NIMBYS and I think there is room for improvement in the plan but there is no doubt this
is one of the last, if not the last, opportunity to keep our valley residents in the valley for
another generation.
If anything, requiring these homes to be resident only and not allowing second home
owners or corporate purchases would be a huge win for the community.
Another walkable, community similar to the success in Willits will be a great place for more
local families to maintain roots in the Roaring Fork Valley and spend less time on our
dangerous roads.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Carol & Jud Hawk
