Thanks, Will, for giving a platform to another viewpoint on this. I also, btw, think the town needs to step up to its responsibility in assisting IFC with the siting. While the current location has its drawbacks, I doubt the IFC would be looking for a new place right now if not for the town pushing them out.
The last two election cycles I was one of two candidates who said clearly that not only does the IFC needed to move from existing location but the Town has a role beyond approving that of siting the facility. Several years ago, prior to UNC’s land donation (under Roger Perry’s guidance), I suggested that the Town provide logistical support to the IFC for identifying appropriate locations.
After last night’s presentation, I’m confident that we can pull our community together on this issue and find a satisfactory solution.
