The Big Win/Win
- Springfield Mayor and Council get to boast 50 new jobs
- Berger gets 160 acres of Prime Agricultural Land at $5,000/acre, instead of industrial zoned land which the average selling price is $200,000/acre. That’s a $25,000,000. gain for Berger.
What is lost to our Community?
- The loss of 160 Acres of Prime Agricultural Land
- Quality of life is significantly reduced to the surrounding acreage residents
- Acreage residents within one mile of the Berger facility will have a significant decrease in their property values.
- Residents are becoming painfully aware that the development plan and zoning bylaws are ignored by Mayor and Council in business planning activities.
