These unique structures are bringing money into the county. They also pay property taxes on the containers as well. Since they are unique they draw tourists from all over the country, like our yurts, so they are bringing tourists who would not normally come to this area but want to stay in the container cabins. I would encourage their usage. Everyone wins- the county, the local businesses, the environment, the guests. No I will not be attending the meeting but anyone who does can use these comments." - Reply to this email to comment on this status. facebook Fred Tanner commented on your status.
