“Independence” interview on Channel 7 News with Jaclyn Allen.
Welcome to the Save Elbert County Website!
We’re a group of concerned citizens primarily from Elbert County with many members from neighboring Douglas County. We are AGAINST overdevelopment in Elbert County. We are FOR protecting our citizens, water, property rights, and our rural “western” way of life. We are FOR “smart” growth in Elbert County.
Currently we are in a fight with an aggressive developer, deficient county commissions and entities that can condemn land and take it. The 920 PUD (planned unit development) formerly called Bandera, now called Independence is directly in our sights at this time.
To our group it was no surprise when the Elbert County Planning Commission voted 7-0 FOR Independence on July 18th, 2017. It also wasn’t a surprise to anybody in our group that the 3 member Board of County Commissioners voted 3-0 FOR the Independence Application on September 7th, 2017. We had no reason to believe (however wishful) that these votes would be anything than par for the course for anything involving Elbert County. We’re used to it around here.
More to come…
Great new site….Thanks Lumpy!!!
Us 1% workin’ it, trying to get the word out Jane, thanks!
Save Elbert county. I live in Parker/Stroh and we are fighting a huge Minnesota slum loard over a horrible apt complex . Parker has been destroyed and Parker rd is a nightmare. All those people from the Independence project will funnel thru parker rd to go shopping and access 25!! When is it going to stop! Who are these houses being built for 400k is not exactly affordable. Parker gov is corrupt and developers call the shots. Good luck
We completely agree with and support Save Elbert County efforts!
Recallelbertcounty.com. The site has the 10 points for our recall. Each statement has supporting information if you click on the particular item. Chris’s podcast are interesting and informative. Give them a listen.
The calendar tells you when and where we are available for petition signing. Please join the effort to remove Richardson, Thayer and Pettitt from their roles as Elbert County commissioners. To leave them in their current rules completely endangers our rural way of life not to mention our limited water resources. Take the time to investigate for yourself and it becomes apparent with so many reasons to recall.
