On Tuesday, September 7th, the Snowflake Town Council board heard the request for a Special Permit to use the land across from Best Western, Auto Zone and O’Reilly in Belly Button.
I agree with the council's vote on this issue. Yes, an RV park would be good for our communities, however, there are other viable properties for this purpose. The parcel is a prime location that could offer both Snowflake & Taylor many benefits other than an RV park.
I would rather see it developed as a community recreation park that would enhance the health & lives of our families and visitors. It could be developed to serve that purpose as well as provide complementary opportunities for retail trade as well. A business model that would provide these benefits could be developed in concert with the municipalities of Snowflake & Taylor to meet their desired goals and yet be funded by private enterprise/investment.
I am satisfied this is the path we should pursue. The communities of Snowflake, Taylor & Shumway are ideal for developing attractions that enhance our family oriented culture while at the same time growing a strong, resilient local economy.
For example, look what the Willis Farm has done with their Fall Harvest project and the Hatch Farm Family Festival last month. It is just a sample of what can be done to provide & promote our community and our heritage of family values.
I would be happy to serve on a economic development committee to find and promote this and other economic developments that enhance our family centered culture as well as other economic projects compatible with that culture.
