Legoland is the Answer for Lee's Summit

As one of the many growing young families living in Lee’s Summit we would like to voice our opinion in regards to the current debate of the proposed Legoland development. We have been following the recent debate concerning this issue. After carefully considering the pros and cons of the Legoland project, we want to join the growing wave of support for the Mayor on this issue. We are compelled to side with growth, opportunity and benefit for the greater good to the citizens of Lee’s Summit.

The opposition to this proposed development and the objections that have been raised have in our opinion been satisfactorily answered in recent statements made by the RED group. Most of the accusations from the objectors appear to be based on fear and invalidated accusations which at first were very misleading in our initial perception of the proposed project. We did our homework and found Lee’s Summit is the sixth largest city (pop. 82,528 as of 2004) and the third largest in area in the state of Mo.

Lee’s Summit is projected to reach a population of 175, 000 in just a few years so progress is inevitable. We are no longer a small town with small minded, antiquated ideas. The high quality, world class, friendly environment of a Legoland park is a once in a lifetime opportunity for this community. With all due respect to the objectors, your objections have been weighed and measured and found sorely wanting. We have considered the future for ourselves and our children and see no adverse outcome – only a bright and prosperous future for the citizens of Lee’s Summit. We would welcome the wholesome family environment of Legoland for our children. Be assured that we have faith in our elected officials, that they will lead this community in growth and prosperity for all. We are in your court as well Mayor Messerli.
