Landowners along the Yadkin River showed up at last night’s meeting to express concern about the proposed $11.8 million greenway:
Given markers and a map to write on, landowners marked off their riverfront properties and wrote phrases like “Not in my lifetime,” “Not for sale,” and — for simplicity — “No.”
“It is 30 feet in front of my house,” said Bonnie Myers as she studied one of the maps. If the greenway cuts across her property, she said, it would cut in two her 61 acres and take away her privacy, she said.
“If they open this up, anybody and everybody can come this way,” Myers said.
Privacy concerns are real for landowners next to greenways.
