Letter: Jones residents want promised equestrian park
Tuesday, June 8, 1999 | 9:29 a.m.
This 40-acre parcel is the same parcel that the City Council under then-Mayor Ron Lurie acquired from the BLM as an equestrian park site for homeowners in the area of Grand Teton Drive/Jones Boulevard/Decatur Boulevard.
Under Mayor Jan Laverty Jones and then-City Councilman Matt Callister, the City Council reinforced to the residents in the northwest its commitment that this site would be developed as equestrian.
The city should be assisting St. Jude's to acquire the old Home of Good Shepherd site that is owned by the state of Nevada with a clause that the property is to be used for purposes of the nature of St. Jude's.
With water and sewer now available to the site, this would be a win-win for St. Jude's, the state and we homeowners in the North Jones area who are waiting for our equestrian park.
Until then don't tax me for something you're taking away.
I hope the rest of my neighbors here on North Jones make their concerns known to the City Council of this turnaround, too.
