Preserve Our Neighborhood
Preserve our neighborhood and the county farm!
The county has received 6 proposals for the county farm property.
Your neighbors are concerned about 3 of them that include plans for: intermediate housing, a place for drug recovery, or housing for the homeless. The Grace Manor proposal specifically outlines plans to build a community center (via the possible demolition of the woods) as well as the construction of tiny homes to serve as intermediate housing.
We encourage you to read these proposals for yourselves at:

**By signing this petition, you are expressing your concern at the possibility of using the county farm for intermediate housing, drug recovery, or housing for the homeless.
We believe these populations would be better served in town, closer to jobs, grocery stores, public transit, and medical services. **
The county is holding a meeting to hear from the public, have all the proposals presented publicly and to vote. Please attend if you can on February 29th at 4:00pm. This meeting will be held at the Storytelling Center in Jonesborough.
Please sign this petition to show your concern for these issues! We will present this proposal to the committee on February 29th.
