Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts and comments with your local elected leaders. As your Mayor, I
appreciate hearing what is on your mind and heart. I know your City Council members appreciate you weighing in as well

Subject: I support the Linder Village proposal
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.
Sincerely,
Rick Williams 2422 n turnberry way ZIP Code: 83646 (208) 899-2016 R.c.williams053@gmail.com Rcw By
initialing above and clicking submit, I understand that the letter displayed above will be forwarded to Meridian
elected and public officials on my behalf. --- Form submitted from: 75.174.214.246 Ref#: 784
