What You're Saying: Water Tower Proposal

Residents are sounding off about the Baltimore County department of public works says is needed in Reisterstown. More than a 100 people took the issue to the floor Monday, as well as on Facebook and Patch. 

Here's what you're saying:

"There should be, in the county, a formal process requiring community input when you have a structure like this that's being planned."
—Del. Dana Stein

"I'm a little disappointed that Kevin Kamenetz isn't here, even though his representative is."
—Brad Sotoloff, president of Fields of Sagamore homeowner's association, at the June 6 ROG meeting

"I live near the Glyndon water tower. To me it keeps the small-town feeling while being part of a major metropolitan area. Since no plans have been made, do you think that ALL the trees on the so said site would be cut down? Doubtful!"
—Stephani Schindler, Patch commenter

"This is something that should not have occurred. It's clear that a lot of confidence has been eroded as far as a lack of transparency and a lack of a process."
—Alan Silver, Worthington Run resident

"The county buys land all the time and banks it so that they have land for schools, so they have land for this kind of thing all the time. It really is a normal process … So I can understand why it got passed. It could have been for anything."
—Vicki Almond, Councilwoman for District 2

"We want that area of land protected. They purchased it for a water tower or another structure. We don't want anything there."
—Jen Kordonski, Fields of Sagamore resident
