Incorporation effort is underway!

MCC leaders met with Greg Stephens last night to go over incorporation of the city of Maltby.

The last 2 years have been unsuccessful mainly due to the fact that the proposed city was too large. This year's submitted proposal is roughly half that size, an area of about 22 square miles.

With developers intensely proposing to push the GMA boundaries to Broadway, we can see if we don't act now that soon Maltby will look like the area east of Mill Creek, it's coming this way. And we'll be trying to stop ridiculous developements every year.

We're not against developement, we just want our community to have a say in how we are developed. Without an incorporated city here, the county will continue to hand developers building permits like they're passing out candy. As an incorporated city all building permits would have to go through the city of Maltby Building Dept.

We're planning an informational meeting in about 4 weeks to give everyone an idea of what's being proposed. Probably to be held at the Maltby Community Center.

To succeed will require a good amount of community support, help spread the word.

Stay tuned for details on the meeting.
