During a recent government meeting, community members expressed significant concerns regarding a proposed master plan that includes plans for industrial rezoning in their neighborhoods. Joshua Pavarnik, a resident of Dortch Loop, voiced the collective apprehension of local residents, highlighting that the areas marked in green on the proposed map are slated for industrial development.

Pavarnik emphasized that the community is opposed to the introduction of industrial zones in their residential areas, stating, \"We don't want industry in our neighborhoods.\" His remarks were met with a show of hands from attendees, indicating widespread disapproval of the rezoning plans.

The discussion follows a previous planning committee meeting where the proposal faced pushback, leading to the current dialogue aimed at addressing community concerns. Residents are rallying to ensure their voices are heard in the decision-making process, advocating for the preservation of their neighborhood's character and quality of life.
