Hey I'm new to the forum but have read for sometime.
As far as the Fayetteville census numbers (being significantly lower than the hype) does anyone feel like it's confirmation that the city counsel has a way of stunting growth?
While hotels and hillsides are in vogue at council meetings people continue to pay for the gross cost overruns at the sewer plant, the lack of progress in traffic calming (look to College @ Joyce), and the clout of the city falling behind by the day. If they really wanted greater influence over the growth of the area would they not have annexed that west Fayetteville land before Farmington gets it and lets anything the developers want to proceed.
