Resident Urges Council to Prioritize Existing Neighborhood Character and Safety in Harmony Drive Development Review
Resident Janelle Patrilli echoed concerns about the Harmony Drive development, focusing on neighborhood safety and character.

Patrilli urged the council to find solutions that better serve existing residents.
