Letter to the Editor: Jackalope Junction a superior small business expenditure for Ramona
It was no great shock to hear the NIMBYs come out of the woodwork when the idea of Jackalope Junction was declared. Just after all, it would imply adjust, and not every person is cozy with modify. But Ramona is switching regardless, and stands to benefit greatly from managed modify.
The Jackalope Junction topic park was not presented as a further Knott’s Berry Farm or Disneyland. It seems like its theme and style have been nicely considered out. As presented, the developer’s approach would be delicate to the targeted visitors, environmental and pollution problems.
The actuality that the developer is not from Ramona is irrelevant, and not a shock. It shouldn’t variable into our thought of welcoming a organization expenditure into Ramona. It ought to be no distinctive than any other corporations in Ramona that are owned and operated by folks who do not reside in this area.
On the furthermore facet, Jackalope Junction would supply elevated career options for our neighborhood, some thing in short source. It could save plenty of outings down the hill for adolescents and older people seeking operate. The sort of careers could be food workers, journey operators, character actors, routine maintenance, etc.
To propose that Jackalope Junction would damage backcountry serenity and beauty with a 20-, or even 40-acre theme park just doesn’t maintain water. The way it was presented, as a western-themed park, matches appropriate in with the rural mother nature of Ramona, and would have no destructive influence on this space in anyway.
At last, a Jackalope Junction theme park would provide an enjoyment locale for people. Many who are not able to spend the time and cash to travel to Knott’s Berry Farm or Disneyland.
I urge forward-wondering Ramona inhabitants to stand at the rear of the proposed Jackalope Junction, and persuade it to find a residence in the Ramona spot.
