Letter: Midstate Corridor comes with many benefits

I propose to the citizens of Dubois County a survey to see how many people are for the Midstate Corridor and how many are against it. We may be surprised by the results; good or bad!

If done right, and that will be the key, the impact to economic growth, new mid-cost housing startups (which are greatly needed), expanded choices for competitive foods and goods, quality of life will benefit.

Yes, with growth comes challenges.

Why do we want to grow?

My opinion, of course, is to bring younger professionals to our community to work, live, play, grow a family, have a quality of life like current residents enjoy, and have the amenities they desire. If not then we become stagnant and aged or just a tourist place to visit.

Yes, we value what we have, but I think we can share and grow as well.
