I grew up in and near the Eno River and would be devastated emotionally to see the fight for the health of the
river get even harder than it already is. The river not only supports and provides for SO MANY human needs, but
it is obviously integral to all of the ecosystems that are literally built around and held together by the river and
dependent on its water quality and health. If the water quality worsens (which WILL HAPPEN if this development
goes through) there will be an extra strain on top of an already HEAVILY BURDENED ECOSYSTEM. Plant and
animal life will be threatened, many communities that are built around and dependent on interacting with the
water will fall apart, quality of life for residence who live near the river will go down, recreation draw and appeal
for what a lot of people consider their favorite park/s will be lost, not to mention you'll break my heart and a lot of
others who don't want to see the last tangible piece of local nature that keeps us sane be further polluted and
disrespected.
Something for you to think about,
We are living in a world that is ever increasingly burdened by the growth of human population and structural
development. We are living in a world that has been drastically altered and socially burdened by the recent
pandemic (and experts say more will come). Many people with myself included depend on the eno river and it's
parks to feel like we are not in a world of concrete that is increasingly doomed to wipe out every piece of green
and blue there is left (that would be a normal non -pandemic day for a lot of people feeling the stress of a modern
developing world.) But as you know we also are in and have been in a pandemic which has caused a MASSIVE
drop in a lot of peoples mental health (probably everyone's). I think that if you as all of the people that used the
eno river and it's parks as a refuge during the pandemic that let them be outside in nature and burnish their
mental well being, they would tell you the same as I will now.
Do not go through with this plan to develop, if you do you will be doing a lot of harm to a lot of peoples lives and
to the natural communities that make the river so wonderful.
Thanks for your time.
Please consider the non destructive path.
