Growth in Boone

When I first moved to Boone - nearly 30 years ago - the town was under the rule of aldermen who wanted to see the town grow as fast and as big as it could. A few years later a new town government took over. This group grew to believe that Boone could only be preserved if its'  growth was stunted. During the past election the town reverted to those who would see fast growth in the town. It seems  that neither course has suited the people of Boone. It seems the town fathers should try something in the middle. Responsible growth with some preservation of the essence of Boone.
