CALENDAR It’s time to share your visions … of what an industrialized Pisgah would look like? Or not. The Seavey Loop neighbors who have been fi ghting to preserve the area’s rural and farm-oriented qualities are calling upon opponents to Springfi eld’s proposed UGB (urban growth boundary) to attend the city’s “visioning workshops.” Springfi eld says the goal for the College View UGB Study Area is to address “appropriate and realistic industrial and commercial development types, preservation of farm land and natural resources, accessi- bility, sustainability and environmental quality.” Seavey Loop landowner Charles Stewart has been spearheading the “No Seavey Loop Industrial Zone” eff orts, and he takes issue with Springfi eld’s sudden announcement of the workshops in our Letters to the Editor this week. To fi nd out more, go to noindustrialpisgah.org or attend one of the upcoming meetings. Future Visions for the College View/South Franklin Corridor Workshop #1: Sharing Your Concerns and Ideas, 4pm and again at 5:30pm Wednesday, Jan. 14, Springfi eld Library Meeting Room, 225 Fifth St., Spfd.. FREE. Future meetings will take place on Jan. 21, 28 and Feb. 4; call Linda Pauly at 726-4608 for more info. TUESDAY JANUARY 13 S U N R I S E 7: 4 5 A M ; S U N S E T 4 : 57 P M AV G.
