Contractors will need to realize that they don't have a full time job. Development is only good up to a point. There can be too many people living in an area and when this happens everyones life becomes less fulfilling- more stress, more fees, more waiting, more strangers, more germs.....

And in fact, all four of the award-winning development project cited above are in the downtown district. I encourage anyone interested helping further this type of development to volunteer for one of HDR's four standing committees: design, operations, economic development and promotions. All meet monthly and the work is meaningful and fun. Call the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance office at 432-8922 to volunteer. As stated in the post above, development is inevitable. Let's accept that fact and constructively guide it so that the special character of our town is preserved and strengthened.

All the environmental challenges we face would become easier if each of us chose for ourselves to have only one or two kids.
