Parrish needs closer access to doctors, dentists and restaurants. Accepting the retail means we have to accept the homes, so it's a double-edged sword for us.

There is only one answer. The developer has to pay for the roads.

We can't keep going like this when we don't have roads and schools to support all these homes. I am glad commissioners understand they can't keep approving these things without the roads and the schools to support them.

I'm for anything that can help us out of this dilemma. (Government doesn't) have the money to build the roads, it's got to come from somewhere.

We are going to need a new concept in order to pay for all the roads we will need.

You hate to lose that rural feel, but we all have to face the fact that the change is here.

This is a rural area, with very narrow roads and deep ditches on either side. It's going to cost major bucks to widen these roads.
