Dear Janet Coit

As an avid lover of Rocky Point Park and a resident of an adjacent neighborhood, I am very hopeful that you and your committee will approach your task of caring for Rocky Point with the sensitivity and reverence it deserves.

This beautiful tract of land has finally been afforded a certain level of respect after decades of physical abuse. Evidence of the ravages of chemical dumping, trashing, and exploitation has been diminished greatly and its natural beauty is now brilliant again, generations later.

We are all the caretakers of this natural beauty and those who wish to exploit it should be identified and prevented from doing so. You mention in your quote above that Rocky point is a resilient space. We can't forget that it could easily be trashed again if the wrong choices are made and if greed enters into the formula.

What Rhode Island needs are decision makers who recognize and appreciate to the core, the precious, fragile pockets of beauty in Rhode Island. We as residents of RI should demand they proceed with decisions for land use from this position.

As an avid lover of Rocky Point, I ask you and your committee to protect Rocky Point from another generation of exploitation and destruction.

Thank you.
