MUM campus sits right next to a grain elevator, and this new facility will be about 5 miles away. There's lots of shrieking about GMO dust, but the main voices in the fight against it are the people from neighboring properties who will be impacted by the increase in truck traffic. In any event, the location is outside city limits, so it's beyond the jurisdiction of Fairfield city government. Years ago, there was huge opposition when the county supervisors tried to impose zoning in unincorporated Jefferson County, so there's nothing that prevents Heartland from building the facility. However, such a large facility will require road improvements, and that involves county government.

Has MUM taken an official position on this? It would impact the university quality of life too, I would think they would weigh in on one side or the other. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 4/8/14, Rick Archer <[email protected] mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] FW: Update about 'THE MAYOR OF FAIRFIELD, FAIRFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: Postpone negotiations and representations to and with the Heartland Co-op until comprehensive impact studies on the potential risks and be To: [email protected] mailto:[email protected] Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2014, 6:53 PM From: Mea Lama [mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 1:24 PM To: [email protected] mailto:[email protected] Subject: Update about 'THE MAYOR OF FAIRFIELD, FAIRFIELD CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: Postpone negotiations and representations to and with the Heartland Co-op until comprehensive impact studies on the potential risks and benefi I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support in signing this petition. Please pass it on to anyone and everyone you know. It doesn't matter if they live in Fairfield or not. We must show the support we have in stopping this project. We must let them know that they can't bully their way around and be a bad neighbor. Fairfield is a wonderful artistic and creative community that is creating a sustainable footprint as well as working to be a BLUE ZONE. This project goes against all the plans the city and the people in it have for the direction of Fairfield. Thank you again! Mea This message was sent by Mea Lama using the Change.org system.
