‘Make your voices heard’

To the editor:

It was with great shock and dismay, that I read Suttons Bay Schools intend to sell a piece of property along Herman Road, and relocate the existing athletic fields. Even more concerning was this open property would become a housing development. I reached out to two board members for an explanation. Both desired the superintendent’s desire to “right size” the District, with the primary benefit of reducing maintenance costs.

I contacted the superintendent and he was willing to discuss my concerns. He cited the need to “right size”, reduce maintenance costs, and also went into extensive detail how the proposed housing development is needed in Leelanau County.
