Why is that ? I went to a well organized public input session over two years ago to plan a vision for this property – that had about 60 people from the community present . This really isn’t something that was thrown together – it is a balanced plan that leverages the farm land to best suit the community .
Local initiative should not be ignored .It works well even in tough economic times We have a cultural center that is 60 years old this year , we have decent schools because people care. Now we need to continue with the vision to ensure heathy out door and indoor recreation- using the property to have multiple facets and maintain the agricultural emphasis.

This is a great proposal that has support and a plan for . It puzzles me that the Clackamas County does respect the fact that the proposed Luscher Fr=arm park improvement will benefit all age groups and decided to put their foot in the door at the 11th hour .
