You may remember all the buzz in October and November about Edmond’s proposed Public Safety Center. It seemed at the time that most of the opposition to this proposal lied in how the project would be funded, therefore it failed in grand fashion when it was put to a vote on November 4th.
However, according to a recent article published by the Edmond Sun, there’s still plenty of opposition to the project. I’m still not hearing anyone say that we don’t need the new Public Safety Center. Instead, it seems that the location of the facility is what’s really at issue now, and it’s a very heated issue with some, with eminent domain even being strongly suggested.
You’ve probably driven by Barnett field a thousand times, and never really thought much of it. But since several of my own kids have played baseball and soccer there during their pee-wee years, this place holds memories for me. I’m not implying that memories are all that should be considered in an issue like this, but I do encourage every resident of Edmond to really study up on the different perspectives of this project, so that when it comes up for vote again, you’re prepared to make an informed decision. This center is a BIG deal for our city, and we want to be sure it’s done right, and with the blessing of as many residents as possible.
