Many other residents are making the same argument, particularly when it comes to the Booth Heights property and a pending development agreement with Triumph Development for Lot 3 of the Middle Creek subdivision.

“There’s a lot of public policy being made inappropriately that rightfully belongs in the public arena,” Lamont said.
