Hyperion, a what do you think poll.
I posted a new poll this morning. The basic question is what will be the impact here if the Hyperion refinery is built. I threw out some packaged answers but I’d much rather have comments and postings. I don’t think worrying about it is even on the horizon for the town council here. And maybe that is good, there are a lot of short term issues that need to be resolved. But in fact we are not poised for significant growth. I don’t think anyone knows how many more housing units can be built and supported by the existing sewer lagoon system. We built a large water tower over 10 years ago. It was long over due, how much growth would mandate a second water tower? What population increase would panic the school administration? We treat increases in school population as a good thing, but how much of a good thing can we stand? New housing in Moville has been what I’d call upper middle class and above. Almost no moderate income new housing. Woodbury Ridge certainly filled a need but I suspect it could be filled three times over.
Please join in the conversation, post or leave a comment, if you think I am suffering from a severe case of Chicken Little Syndrome please say so, one of us will be right. And we may live long enough to find out.
