Changes in law needed to avoid planning errors

It is truly amazing what one savvy land owner can do to change the face of development in Boone County. All he had to do was donate a portion of land to the school board and — voilà — we have a new infrastructure problem. The school administration and the school board (even over time) have proven clueless to these kinds of tactics. Mill Creek Elementary School on Vauter School Road is another example of donated land — an elementary school that stops traffic during the morning rush hour and in the afternoon on a major roadway.
