Hi Benton, THANK YOU so much for protecting your constituents from greedy developers.

I hope you are one of the sponsors (and if not one of the supporters) of the bill to change the annexation rules and prevent TR from basically annexing as much of Paris Mtn as they desire.

I hope there is lots of attendance at the developers “open house” in a show of rejection of this horrific project with no consideration for local residents and the natural surroundings

Thank you and I am one of the proud sponsors of the resolution! While growth is happening and will continue to, we have to do all we can to protect the areas like Paris mountain at all costs!

Its great to see Greenville County Council is taking a look beyond its current practices AND assessing the current state laws, to address issues that affect our local communities!

Mr. Benton, I'd like to add a major incentive for large businesses to locate here, which is not mentioned here. It's Greenville county's rich and exuberant arts community and its offerings. Just saying.

As a fan of music and the arts, I agree with you. It’s why I moved here from Nashville, TN many years ago!
