Dear Editor,
We should support childcare in our community – but as Nederland tax paying residents, we have to vote NO on Ordinance 859 this week.
This ordinance would give our public land to a private business, essentially for free ($1 a year). First, it’s just the wrong thing to do, because this parcel is owned by local taxpayers. Second, our Town simply does not have the financial bandwidth to give away valuable public assets for $1. If we did, aging infrastructure in need of repair would never be talked about.
There is no other example in Boulder County of a privately run childcare facility being built on public land taken from taxpayers.
To be clear, I absolutely support families and children and additional childcare, but it simply should not happen this way.
Vote NO on Ordinance 859 this week, and let’s work together to build additional childcare on a site not taken from taxpayers.
