Positions

The SCHTB favors FuturePlan. They feel that by keeping growth contained largely within an urban growth boundary, more investment will be poured into the historic central business districts of both Silver Cliff and Vermillion. Though worried that rapid and widespread growth could make it difficult for the board to mobilize enough resources to save and protect endangered, historic buildings and sites they feel that contiguous growth would be preferable to more diffuse growth because more money would be available to protect and restore the historical character of the region. Additionally, Lucy Lucky, the Board President feels that widespread growth outside of the urban areas would put multiple mining, agricultural, and ranching sites under the threat of development. Smaller towns and jurisdictions would also be ill equipped to restore their cultural heritage in light of these developments due to a lack of resources and representation. Already, the historic Old Town Wamasanna would be literally obliterated and surrounded by sprawling growth introduced by the new regional shopping center.
