Tuesday evening, March 11, the Richmond Beach Community Association held another meeting at the Richmond Beach Congregational Church to discuss the "Impacts of Point Wells Development." 

Vice President Jerry Patterson gave a brief statement about the reality of the need to continue the dialog with the help of professionals like a 'traffic engineer and attorney'.  He said it was extremely important that the community stay involved and financially support a successful intervention in the design of this project which will eventually be built to some scale. Donations are needed and requested of homeowners.

Traci Shallbetter, Real Estate and Land Use Attorney, has been hired by the community. She gave a long and thorough presentation about the law, the dimension of the project, and where the community can have the biggest impact to mitigate the serious changes that will be forthcoming.
