What if areas outside of city limits don’t want to be annexed into the city? And why are the city and county leaders approving more subdivisions when we are running out of water? Offering to buy the ag water rights for $8000.00 per share to support the new subdivisions going in? Are our city & county leaders trying to get rid of agriculture in our community? Why should they sell their water rights? Quit approving more building!!!!!! Real Estate Companies are driving growth in Sheridan, increasing property values & property taxes! It’s time to cut off growth because its hurting the people who grew up here!!!
