St. Louis is under threat

Dear Editor:

The village of St Louis is under threat. We need help from the Board of Supervisors.

The subdivisions that are in the plan would increase the housing numbers in the community by 30 percent, and the current zoning could double the houses in the community. 

We would suffer from many negative impacts. If our wells dry up, most cannot afford to dig new ones, and many residents could lose everything. Too much growth would create overcrowding at the school.  Vehicular traffic on the gravel roads would end our quality if life as we know it.               

St. Louis is a quiet, affordable place. It is home to many families who not only have lived here many years but many generations as well. We ask the Board of Supervisors to act now before this injustice happens.
