What are the proposals on the table? How does each proposal address the community’s goals for the I-81 project? There have been many broken promises made to aggrieved communities by government; are we certain the promises made around I-81’s community grid will be kept? How does the addition of Blueprint 15 affect the conversation around I-81? Is it possible to remedy mistakes of the past with this project?
4/23 WRVO
