We are finally at the last few steps! Here is the long-awaited Point Ruston Master Development Plan for the Ruston portion of the former Asarco property. The full document is available on Ruston Reports here... This plan will have a public hearing before the planning commission on August 7th at 7 pm.
It's human nature to not get involved when we don't care, or not take the time or energy to comment if we are happy with a plan like this. And in our politically charged little town, having an opinion can seem like you are risking your life (or at least your peace of mind). So we end up with the negative voices being heard, and fear guiding these important decisions.
This is the single most important issue facing our future and will determine Ruston's survival, in my opinion. After last night's council vote on the Stack Hill development, we could very easily loose this vital development.
I strongly encourage everyone to take time to read this (its only 18 pages) and take the time to provide your input; whether you are worried, angry or maybe even supportive. ~ Karen

How exciting is this!I wonder how this council can and will screw with Cohen on this plan.Perhaps stalling with the ever popular "we need to get our arms around this" We will not and can not move to fast. The views that are going to be taken away-even if it effects only one resident.That view will never be available again.What if I don't like the food selections? The art work? What if I have to walk 30 feet to get to stores? This is really too much to fast. Dan, why can't we keep the chain link fence around the (our) property? 40 years ago this all had pristine views,no traffic, very few buildings, and no pollution to speak of!
Why,Why must we change.
