Fox News, CBS 11, WB 33 News, and NBC 5 have been notified of the “Save Church” effort and have tentatively committed to cover the May 21st council meeting at city hall. The people in the newsrooms that I spoke with were interested in our effort to preserve the natural and historical integrity of Church Drive. If you don't know what I mean by natural integrity, then watch the video below to find out. Be sure to continue reading below the video.
Having the media present makes your attendance more critical than ever. Join us at the council meeting on Thursday, May 21st at 7p.m. to show your support for othe Save Church campaign.
Remember, we support a sidewalk along the north side of Church Drive. We support the repaving of Church Drive, possibly widening it by a few feet. But we do not support the city’s plan to destroy all 500 plus trees.
We contend that ample space is present to construct a sidewalk on the north side of Church Drive without destroying the tree canopy. We contend that the benefit of keeping the trees, most of which are over 50 years-old, far outweighs the benefit of a widened road as currently planned by the city.
Once Church is destroyed, we can’t bring it back. Join us in our cause for common sense in local government. Join us in our effort to save Church. Once again you can help us by attending the Corinth city council meeting on May 21, 2009 at 7pm in the city council chambers located at 3300 Corinth Parkway in Corinth.

Urban sprawl in Corinth defies citizens calls for green living and sustainable city planning. Replacing trees with concrete is one of the worst actions the City of Corinth can take for its environmentally concerned banner to attract residents and business. The charm and carbon monoxide eating benefits the trees provide are free. Who is the receiving the contract for this project? How many of the people that will be working on this project are citizens?
