We need to build our Yelm downtown core up, and not bifurcate our shopping area into two separate locals. It is clearly stated in the Yelm Vision Plan that we are to "...focus new commercial services in existing commercial areas." I agree..."Commertial development should be kept to a minimum. Allowing only small neighborhood-oriented commercial, such as small grocery stores" to be there at Thurston Highlands. One million feet of commercial space is too large to be in the Highlands area, and would discourage people from visiting our downtown core. We have to build a strong and sensible Highlands that will benefit the city in all ways. Let's look to the future and make our choices wisely. Restrict the Highland's plan to make a new downtown area in Yelm and make a ghost town out of our old core. The existing businesses have been the backbone of our little city. Don't disrespect them in favor of new money. We need to have pride in what we have created and build and strengthen our downtown core.
