Can we trust Pittsboro to do it right? I hope so for my children’s sake.

My last comment on this discussion would be that based on moving here in the early 90’s and growing up in a small town in  NW NC and living in and around Raleigh and watching Cary go from 2000 people to what is is today, –  I love Pittsboro just like I love Mt. Airy.  BUT that doesn’t mean that we can’t move ahead.  Do we want to stand still like my home town has and watch all of the textile and furniture jobs disappear so that we can work at WalMart or do we want to embrace the future?  It should be planned out and done to ensure that all of the environmental problems are minimized.

The only problem is planning and doing it right.  Good golly I am a progressive soul ( call me liberal if you want to) and this is a clear matter of don’t let the developer get rich at our expense.  Progress marches on and we can’t stop it.

Can we trust Pittsboro to do it right?  I hope so for my children’s sake.
