Letters To The Editor

Dear Editor,

My husband and I moved to Brasstown seven years ago and I want to say how happy we are to be living in such a peaceful and beautiful place. We came from St. Louis , a large midwest city, and to experience the quiet peacefulness of the North Carolina mountains is truly a blessing after all the noise of a big city.

Dear Editor,

I would like to voice my agreement with the sentiments expressed by Gonos of Brasstown in her recent editorial letter. Clay County is a spectacularly beautiful area and it is my hope that our commissioners and residents recognize that we all will benefit when we work together to protect it.

To me, that means recognizing that increasing numbers of people calling this place home requires decisions to be made by the citizens and their local government about how Clay County will inevitably grow.

Sincerely, Mary Gonos, Brasstown.

Working together to ensure continued quality of life for Clay County residents will keep united as a community as well as benefit us individually in what is assuredly our sheared future.

Sincerely, Kathi Osborne , Hayesville
