from the interviews:

“It appears to me that they’re developing all the pristine spots around the lake…this proposal can potentially ruin what makes this area so special…No one has really looked at the infrastructure demands from a development north of here--the impact on the Town of Greenville.” - Dan McLaughlin

“We certainly need jobs up here. But, what kind of jobs would such a proposal bring? I’m afraid that the jobs would be minimum wage jobs without benefits, seasonal jobs, not jobs that pay living wages with good benefits that will allow people to support their families.” - Wendy Weiger

“What I’d like to see for this region is that it be protected for public use, public enjoyment for many generations, as well as protection for wildlife habitat.” - Diane Boretos
