Sue, It's very late to protest the development at the far end of JRP. Plans have been in the works for years, and publicly discussed and published in T-D. Personally, I support it. The area cannot have healthy growth and devopment without residential development first. Troutman, Saunders law firm is building a tall office building on Brown's Island which will be completed next year. I have strong reservations about that, but have never heard any opposition to it.
