MY TURN: Join me on Dec. 5 to stop HURA’s expansion
On Nov. 7, I was elected to the Hayden City Council. One reason the citizens of Hayden chose me, was my strong sense that the Hayden Urban Renewal Agency (HURA) is no longer serving its statutory purpose, creates an unfair tax structure for Hayden citizens and Kootenai County in general, and appears to benefit a privileged few.
HURA’s district is about 720 acres today, which is just over 19% of the city’s land. Its unelected board is seeking to expand the district about 70 additional acres. I urge Hayden residents to fight this expansion by attending the HURA open house Dec. 5 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hayden City Hall. Join me in telling the HURA board members that we’re against the expansion.
