During a recent government meeting, community member Jessica Ford voiced her concerns regarding the Barkeys development project, emphasizing the lack of consultation with local residents. Speaking from her home on Dogwood Drive, Ford highlighted that many neighbors, particularly those on Dogwood, Glen Haven, and Cumberland, remain unaware of the proposed changes that could significantly impact their low-density and estate lot properties.

Ford expressed gratitude for the efforts of fellow resident Miss Walker, who has been proactive in raising awareness about the development. She urged city officials to enhance communication with the community to ensure that residents are informed and can participate in discussions that affect their neighborhood. The meeting underscored the importance of community engagement in urban development projects, as residents seek to protect the character and density of their area.
