Vote NO on Measure 24-113

Salem voters have a choice.

We can vote for wasteful, auto-dependent, ugly big-box sprawl on large blocks of land on the fringe of the existing urban area.

Or we can VOTE NO to support existing businesses and protect the health of existing neighborhoods and downtown.

The Hazel’s Hill development is not in the public interest.

Hazel’s Hill will put dollars in the pockets of developers while degrading Salem’s existing neighborhoods. Vote No to protect Salem’s quality of life!

The Hazel’s Hill development promises costly traffic nightmares.

The Hazel’s Hill annexation is one of the largest ever placed before Salem’s voters. Kuebler Boulevard already suffers from serious traffic problems. Hazel’s Hill will put thousands more cars on the road every day. Two state agencies have expressed concerns over the additional impacts from this development. Vote No to protect Salem’s transportation network!

The Hazel’s Hill development will undermine our neighborhoods.

This huge new development will require a massive extension of public services like water, sewer and roads. It will undermine existing retailers and existing neighborhoods where substantial investments in public facilities have already been made. Vote No to protect Salem’s neighborhoods!

WELL-FUNDED LAND SPECULATORS

SHOULD NOT RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER OUR CITY!
