Save Fruita's Farmland: Stop the 19 Road and East of Fruita Expansion


Save Fruita's Farmland: Stop the 19 Road and East of Fruita Expansion
The Issue
Our beloved Fruita farmland is under imminent threat from the proposed expansion of 19 Road and the area east of Fruita. This expansion not only jeopardizes the fertile agricultural land that has been the backbone of our community for generations but also undermines the very essence of our heritage and future sustainability.
The City of Fruita has proposed this expansion without adequately addressing the concerns of the community. Residents have been receiving unsettling letters from contractors, pressuring them to sell their land with the claim that the city will take it anyway. This aggressive and unjust approach has left many feeling unheard and disregarded.
We, the undersigned, are calling on the City of Fruita to halt the expansion plans immediately and to consider alternative solutions that do not involve taking away our precious farmland. Preserving this land is crucial for maintaining our local economy, ensuring food security, and protecting the environment.
By signing this petition, you are standing with us in opposition to the 19 Road and east of Fruita expansion. Together, we can protect our agricultural heritage, support our local farmers, and ensure a sustainable future for Fruita.
