Sand Springs, Home Depot, LIBERALS 2025 :-(

[Rowdy Roddy]

Look for MORE evil from Vision 2025 and UNIONS and LIBERALS[][]

The town of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, has plans to take Centennial Baptist, along with two other churches, several businesses, dozens of small homes, and a school, and replace them with a new "super center," rumored to include a Home Depot. It's the kind of stuff that makes tax collectors salivate.

This unholy takeover goes back to Sand Springs's controversial "Vision 2025" project, which emerged in 2003. The plan includes, according to its website, the "largest set of public redevelopment projects in the history of Tulsa County." The money earmarked for Sand Springs was supposedly meant to focus on redeveloping an abandoned industrial area for big box retailers and other stores. One problem: Centennial Baptist Church isn't abandoned, and unlike some of the other buildings in its neighborhood, it is in pristine condition. More importantly, the church doesn't want to sell, and they have good reasons.
