Positions:

Favor FuturePlan but are wary of growth restrictions and boundaries that would bind the decision making of the business community. They don't want to lose their business stronghold to the other region's communities. Ben Cartright, executive president of the Silver Cliff Chamber of Commerce take a more conservative stance toward growth and development in the region and is wary of jumping on the technology bandwagon. He feels that though diversifying the region's economic base is a solid strategy, an over reliance on technology could come at the cost of traditional industries like mining, farming, and ranching. Cartright feels that if the region becomes a magnet for the tech industry, it may displace existing residents and ultimately drive up property costs to levels that are unaffordable to most of the industrial and service workers who have lived and worked in the region for decades.
