Dr. Roger D. Smith, DMD calls for point of order Comments re article 64034 Letter Wants information about sealed bid Roger D SmithDMD writes: Dear Ed: I need a "Point of Order" on the Industrial Land. It was explained to me a few years ago that the land on Campbellsville Rd. was by restriction to be only used for industrial purposes. Have the numerous restrictions on this property been eased or is this usage an exception to rule? - Roger D SmithDMDThanks, Dr. Smith - I don't know, but I will ask my associate, Stanley, for a higher opinion. And we'll put the question out there, maybe someone who knows the bylaws better than we can answer the question. One thing I believe though, - and this is my personal opinion - leasing of the cropland has been a super great thing, from a pragmatic standpoint. The income has provided most of the revenue the Economic Development Authority has had available the past few years. - ED 2013-12-17 17:12:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
