He did believe that x~.lanned and <br />restricted gx-owth is vital to the future <br />prosperity of= Louisville and would not <br />suggest this Council take this matter lightly. <br />It was Mr. Rowan' feeling however, that <br />in adhering t:o their anti-growth stance, <br />this City Council has lost sight of its <br />major objective - the betterment of the City <br />of Louisville. In the past few months, a <br />week has not gone by that the City Council <br />has not been written about in the area <br />newspapers. These articles have brought <br />attention to the City but thanks to this <br />Council, Louisville has become a circus for <br />reporters to headline. (No offense to any <br />of the reporters present). Although the <br />City of Louisville has been in the limelight <br />in Boulder County, it is quickly falling be- <br />hind BroomfiE.ld and Lafayette in economic <br />growth and development, which Councilmembers <br />all seem to stand for.

He <br />didn't know of anything more that anyone <br />could ask of Homart in trying to work for <br />thus City. This stance of Louisville anti- <br />gY•owth in the papers is not just effecting <br />Homart. If Homart leaves - fine, Louisville <br />will go on; but it is hurting the rest of <br />the City. Other businesses are not actually <br />looking at Louisville when cities such as <br />
