    Good for the Council – Mr. Mair is an excellent choice to lead these initiatives. He has an enormous amount of real world experience and true dedication to the region. I think conservation groups need to be as vocal as possible about their advocacy for modern infrastructure and local jobs, and this plan sounds like a step in the right direction. It definitely isn’t an “either-or” situation that pits development against the environment.

    I though the piece was well written and it sounds like Mr. Mair understands what the need for educators and land stewards as well as the importance of a diversified DLE and DFP unit.
