Message: This project would destroy the cattle creek area and have a massive impact on
the wildlife in the areas migration routes which have already been cut to slivers. It’s a bit
embarrassing that this even being considered when on the men on this board look to be in
their 70s at which stage of life I would think they’d be considering the future of this valley
quite carefully. Sad to see local leadership lean into this kind of thinking even more
aggressively than already has been done. If it’s housing you are looking to build can you
honestly say this will be utilized more than 10% for affordable housing? If not than there is
no economic reason to bring in more people that the area already cannot serve due to lack
of affordable housing for those that don’t have significant financial freedoms.
Aside this would also significantly jeopardize the brown trout spawning habitat that is right
there at the confluence due to removing a lot of the water resources that feed that tributary.
Which if it’s financial benefits that you care about, would be worth considering the impact
on the fishery and income associated with it.
I hope you reconsider.
