The proposed rail center is bordered on the east by a wetlands area. The creek floods at least once a year if not more. It is home to many species of insects, birds and animals that are already threatened by growing population areas. This rail center is not needed as CREATE is already involved in making the railway system better. Mr. Patton is only interested in land grab for his own monetary gain. Drainage of farmland will be adversely affected. Farmers and townships have spent many years and much money to create this working system. Who will fix it when,the construction destroys the existing system? Why are we ruining great agricultural land for an unneeded railway? So many jobs lost... Please put an end to this debacle that will destroy so much.
