Post Falls residents concerned about possible impacts of potential 41-acre annexation
Life is changing in Post Falls. For some longtime residents, it doesn't feel like it's changing for the better. "I’m putting a lot of the pressure on the city of Post Falls to not take away what we already have,” said Denny Wagoner, who lives on the corner of Greensferry Road and Gallop Lane. Wagoner has lived at his current address since 2005, when that stretch of Greensferry was newly paved. He and his neighbors are concerned about the impacts that a 41-acre annexation directly across Greensferry could have on the quality of life in that area if the plan is approved by the Post Falls City Council. A planning and zoning public hearing for the Joseph Family Trust Annexation request will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the city council chambers, 408 N. Spokane St.
