When the town and county approved a process for planning for future growth and housing development in northern South Park, officials said time was of the essence. The process was slated to wrap up by August. With a workshop now scheduled for noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 19, the planning has fallen behind schedule. Some are concerned about the delay while others anticipated the lag. For some, focusing on the delay misses the forest for the trees. And others say taking a few extra weeks to get the âalternatives,â essentially options for how northern South Park could be developed, and statistical models right is worthwhile.
