Dear Ms. Kirkmeyer,
I am greatly saddened by the wanton destruction of majestic cottonwood groves and old
farm buildings in Greeley. The taking of these old trees seems so senseless-when we
look at Fort Collins we seen new developers building houses around these historic trees.
Some of the old farm buildings could certainly be relocated and/or renovated to showcase
Greeley's important ranching and agricultural heritage. It deeply pains me to see these
great icons destroyed so our children won't know about, or honor, their
ranching/agricultural ancestors.
It seems that with the great prices developers and buyers are willing to pay to live here, a
concession to spend a few extra dollars to preserve these great trees and farms buildings
that so beautifully illustrate our heritage would not be out of the question.
If we are powerless to stem the tide of development pressure then at least we should ask
that development does its best to protect our native and cultural heritage.
Very truly yours,
Janet White, 20 year resident
