OPINIONS

PUBLIC APPEARANCES

Roy Raines and Tony Apap attended a BOCC meeting on September 24, 2009 to support the "Garcon Point Protection Area Concerned Citizens" group in their effort to stop further encroachment into the wetlands in Garcon Point by a Texas based church group. In additional to a church and rectory on the site, the Texas group desires to build five additional buildings on land they purchased for a retreat/recreation complex to include three, 3-story motel type structures, a dining facility, and a meeting building. The Garcon Point Group made a convincing argument against the expansion project and the BOCC voted against the project.
