I know the original letter was written by the developer but as an aging family we like having the bigger cost effective
stores closer to where we live. Winco will really help our pocketbook and save us on gas. It keeps us closer to our
neighborhood so we don't have to fight the ever growing traffic.
Thank you,

Dear Meridian City Council & Planning Officials:
I urge your strong support for the Linder Village proposal. This mixed-use proposal will create
an exciting new atmosphere for shopping and dining that the community will enjoy as well as a
new residential neighborhood close to amenities in high demand.
The Meridian Comprehensive Plan recommends services such as grocery stores within walking
distance of residential communities. The Comprehensive Plan also urges the provision of
housing options close to employment and shopping centers. Linder Village is supportive of these
guidelines.
This proposal is also an opportunity for private development to facilitate road improvements that
the corridor needs. The traffic improvements that are included as part of the Linder Village
proposal will help increase mobility and safety for drivers and pedestrians at and around one of
the corridor’s major arterial intersections.
Finally, Linder Village will promote economic development to position Meridian for success for
decades to come. The proposal will create jobs and generate substantial tax revenue to help fund
vital City services. Existing businesses will also benefit from opportunities to attract new
customers living at Linder Village.
Ultimately, Linder Village is a proposal that will proudly serve the community, and I urge your
strong support to help ensure this project becomes a reality.
