The proposed development of property along Assembly street and the lands of Rocky Branch Creek into any warehouse style big box chain, such as Wal-Mart, would be extremely detrimental to Columbia's local economy, environment, and community. Such a development would also destroy a historic land mark, Capital City Stadium. Developing the lands along Rocky Branch into a green way is a sound and responsible plan for the city of Columbia.

The feedback regarding the future of the Rocky Branch corridor confirms that many residents prioritize preserving our local landscape over commercial expansion. I am currently preparing a formal proposal to present these community concerns to the City Council. We must remain focused on the long-term environmental value of this site.

PLEASE keep this area natural. columbia needs more parks and walking trails not more concrete and traffic.
The traffic on assembly is bad enough as it is. Adding a big box store will make it a total nightmare.
Greenway sounds way better than a warehouse store. Do the right thing for once.
We have enough big box stores already. Keep the green space for us to actually use. Don't destroy everything for a parking lot.
SO sick of developers just tearing down everything good in this town. save rocky branch!
