TURTLECREEK TWP., WARREN COUNTY

The Warren County Tea Party is urging supporters to attend Tuesdays meeting on the proposed Warren County Sports Park at Union Village.

They wont give up on raising taxes to put the county in the sports marketing business. Its not a role of government. Nearby residents also have a problem with this plan, said an email sent out to supporters over the weekend.

On Tuesday, the county Board of Commissioners is to vote on the development plan and review the site plan for the 109-acre complex to be built off Greentree Road and Ohio 741 in Turtlecreek Twp.

Last week, residents living across Greentree from the park hired a lawyer to help them press their concerns with the commissioners.

The tea party is rejoining the opposition, having questioned the commissioners during a 2015 meeting about the need for a 1-percent increase in the lodging tax to fund the sports complex.

Our problem with this plan is philosophical, tied to the basic tenets of limited government and fiscal responsibility. We last packed a Commissioners meeting in 2015 to challenge this, said the message to urg tea party and affiliate supporters to attend the meetings scheduled at 10:40 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Tuesday.

The complex is to be part of the 1,200 Union Village development, also expected to include 4,500 homes and commercial development around the main retirement campus of Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices west of Lebanon.

Supporters project the sports complex will draw more tourists to the county who will pay sales tax while visiting, keeping down other taxes paid by residents.
