When a development like the Park Ranch Plan is showcased, there are many benefits. In a slow economy, the plan would be perfect for seldom used construction workers, families in need of low-income housing and schools that need to be built. The plan entails a solid working foundation for area residents and amenities that might not be built unless the resolution is passed.

The plan took a hit Wednesday when the Douglas County Planning Commission rejected the initiative, 6-1.

It was interesting to find a story a few clicks away on the Record-Courier Web site. The story, Polyphaser moving to Idaho, is one Douglas County doesn't really want to see. Click the link to read the story.

Our economy needs rejuvenation for business owners and with 100 people notified in the story that the Douglas plant is closing, they can either move to Hayden, Idaho, or stay in Douglas County and find a new job.

Job creation is a big motive for the Park family, and in the 50-year plan there would be plenty of work, giving Douglas County residents job security.
