Commentary: Are we prepared for growth? Comments re article 107486 Commentary Be grateful for local investment By Lorne Holler Well, first off thank you for going to bat for the highway lighting at the wal-mart interchange it was a driving hazard. No one knows what goes into getting something like that done. It's not that people are being negative about the new business coming into Columbia. They are thinking just how many ways can a hamburger be made? how burger places do we really need? The Pinewood center is doing good and is good for the area. In my opinion what people are wanting in this area is a variety of jobs so they don't have to drive so far. They want good jobs so they can pay their bills and expenses, then spend locally so they don't have to drive to another county. Not just fast food places or a lot of retail. I understand that at one time Columbia, and or Adair county had Osh-Gosh here, why did they leave? Move overseas? Not enough people for their turnover? Overhead to expensive? I don't know as I was not here at that time. They want to have pride in their city, and county like everyone in the other counties do. We also have just as many banks of the same caliber, so how many branches does one city need? Yes they want to see growth, but in a society that wants everything NOW! We know this doesn't happen overnight or in months. We need to support what we do have and maybe attend some meetings in the area to throw our .02 cents in the ring. We do have the Green River area that draws people in from other areas. They are making additions to the highways here. Just remember one thing when it takes place and we grow will we be ready for the traffic that comes with the growth? Will we be ready for the problems that come with growth?
