Dear McArthur Historic Commissioners,
I am writing this letter to strongly support the new construction plan on 15th and Rock, proposed by Mr.
Page Wilson of Paul Page Dwellings LLD.
I believe new construction of houses is equally essential as preservation of historic buildings to develop
a vibrant community. This is especially true for the areas with many vacant houses and empty lots
including our neighborhood. Our community needs more people, thus we needs dwellings that attract
people especially in this time of oversupplied housing market. Keeping deserted empty lots simply does
not help our community to grow.
In the past two years, I have evidently witnessed that Mr. Wilson has significantly contributed to the
growth of our community by building sustainable dwellings that have attracted many people including
ones who are traditionally skeptical about downtown living. Empty lots in our neighbor should be filled
with new houses and vacant houses in the area should be renovated by some means. Thus, I believe his
new construction plan at 15th and Rock, if approved, will be a significant milestone to the further
enrichment of vibrant community in McArthur Historic District.
Sincerely,
Kenji Yoshigoe
