In an email and Facebook post Thursday, officials with the group said that the organization is ramping up awareness efforts on the park project.
"We have ordered more yard signs, and would like some help getting them placed in high traffic locations. We also have a tri-fold brochure, and ask that our followers help us in getting them into locations like museums, businesses, at group meetings, etc. Bumper stickers are also available; all of these can be obtained by going to our website at www.echofarmspark.com which has now been updated to include more information on what we see that the park project can become," the post said.
The efforts also include creating a 15-minute presentation to make to civic groups and plans to man booths at local festivals during the summer, "all to help raise awareness of the opportunity for the city and county to purchase this 140 acre gem at an extremely reduced price for comparable acreage in the city. There is no other property like this anywhere that the city or county could purchase that can do so much good," the Facebook post said.
Of Tract 3C, the post said the townhouse units "would be more like or larger than the existing neighboring properties, thus less of a chance of reducing values in the neighboring developments."
Conversations between Matrix and Save Echo Farms about other tracts are expected to continue.
"During our conversations with Matrix, we requested again that SEF meet with the developer and walk the other tracts of the possible development. Doing this, we can show them what our changes to their original plans can do to raise the values of both their development and our property values," the SEF post said. "They have agreed to work on the rest of it in a similar way that we worked Tract 3C with them. That work will continue at the same time that we are working towards the park project."
