We don’t want Fenelon Falls to be a ‘dying town’

Re: Making Fenelon Falls bigger is not what reader wants (March Advocate).

Doing things well is the answer, not hiding from development. We need housing, so let’s build the mix of housing people need. We need a downtown that thrives on new entrepreneurs to maintain the kind of town we enjoy. We need improved and expanded infrastructure, so let’s increase tax revenue by letting people move here. All this requires local vigilance and good ideas, yes. Anything else looks to me like a dying town. Who will be here when our older existing population is gone, and those who would have liked to move here have had to go elsewhere?
