AH, l think that a clear eyed ire evalluafioin of the ineed for the quarry at this fime is llin order.
Didving v6luimes have plummeted, DOT wiH Ibe scalIlIing Ibaclk or caincellfiing inuimeirous Iprojects,
and the Airport litsellf has Ipuslhed off (plains for expansion, estimating that travell wiH inot return
to pre covid levels uintH 2024. In this time, recreation and inatui4l space for our growing, yet
restless Ipopullation is at a Ipreirniurn. The current forest Ilainds might Ibe used llin the short to
me6uim term llin to Ihellp satisfy our ineeds for active inatui4l areas.
With this llin mind, Ipeirhaps the (best course of action is to delay issue of the mi16ling Ipeirmit uintH
the covid crisis has (passed, and ineeds for Ibotlh RDU and Ipoteintiall giravell customers cain Ibe
better understood.
