When developers want to bring new high-density or multi-family housing projects into O’Fallon using annexation, YOU pay for it! Some of these projects are well on the outskirts of O’Fallon and do not benefit the community at all.
WHAT ANNEXATION MEANS TO YOU:
• Over-crowded schools - our schools are already at their maximum capacity...do we want our children in the hallways to eat lunch? in temporary trailers for classes? NO!
• Thinly stretched resources - our police and fire departments will now have to cover these new areas. We already have a problem with the water supply. Do we really want to spread our necessary resources so thin?
• Increased Taxes - how is the infrastructure paid for in these new areas? By our tax dollars! Do we really want to pay higher taxes just to benefit a land developer?
All of these and more HURT our families and community!
URGENT:
ONE POSSIBLY COMING SOON IS THE "TALL TREE" DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED ON HWY DD. IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY DEFEATED BY THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE DEVELOPER HAS THREATENED TO VOLUNTARILY ANNEX INTO O’FALLON!
WHY SHOULD THE CITIZENS OF O'FALLON ACCEPT A DEVELOPMENT THAT THE COUNTY DOESN'T WANT?
