Results of the Public Comment on Graylyn

We received the following update from Mr Peek providing results of the public comment on Graylyn. Please note that the final course of action has not been decided.

I'm mailing this CD to you today and I wish I could've gotten it to you sooner. To save you just a bit of work: our count was 249 comments and we received thoughtful comment on all sides of the issue. That's one of the more gratifying results of an exercise such as this. Something over 150 of the comments favored Alternative C or some slight variation, although I stress once again that the solicitation of public comment is not to be considered a referendum. Nonetheless, the division administrative team and planners will consider all the comments carefully in deliberating a possible course of action. My thanks for the role that you and Access Umstead have played in the process thus far.

update on Graylyn

In response to a request for the progress on Graylyn, we received the following response from Charlie Peek, NC Parks and Recreation Public Information Officer:

Mr. Fisher,
I can certainly understand your impatience; and I'm hoping you'll understand that with nearly 40 units open to the public, this is not the only issue with which we're currently dealing.
We have prepared a fairly detailed summary of the comments, and our webmaster is preparing to post that on our Web site hopefully within a few days. I can send that information directly to you if you'd like. We had a total of about 250 written comments. I can also send you the full text of everything on a CD if you'll supply a mailing address.
Our operations and planning staff is currently reviewing the comments.
