Letter to the editor: Opportunities have come and gone over the years, because of a few

Mon, 08/25/2014 - 5:45pm

It has been said many times that we need more opportunities for our families to work and live. Such a opportunity has come before us, with jobs that will benefit all of us. I ask, what direction are we heading?

We all know someone that will need medical assistance sometime in our lives. North East Mobile Health Services is a company with sound business practices. They provide professionally trained staff and are known as a pioneer in new programs that will continue to make our lives safer.

The tannery lot is a great place for North East Mobile Health because of the location and access to major corridors. Response times to Camden residents will be reduced.

North East is understanding of the concerns of surrounding homeowners, and will do all they can to be a good neighbor.

But a few residents are resistant. Opportunities have come and gone over the years, because of a few.

So it is time to decide whether to bring back jobs (on a lot that once employed hundreds) or lose a valuable commercial lot.

I hope you will show your support as we continue to invest in our future.

Thank you.
