Concerned Northport, Alabama Citizen Has A Message for Jeff Hogg
Concerned Northport citizen Jack Roberts told the Steve & DC Morning Show on 953 The Bear why he is opposed to the University Beach Water Park in Northport.
He bottom lined his opposition by saying Northport has to decide what kind of town it wants to be.
A passionate Jack Roberts has started a Go Fund Me Page to stop the resort styled development. Money donated will be used for legal fees to stop this project. The page is titled Help Stop the University Beach Water Park.
Caleb Hiatt said..
Roberts also had a message for Northport council president Jeff Hogg.
Listen to the Jack Roberts interview here.
Leaders in Northport have voted to partner with Texas developers to build a sprawling, almost 80-acre lagoon resort far from the 11-acre "neighborhood" water park once pitched to residents.
It's hard to exaggerate how different the resort presented Monday night is from early talks about the water park, which was to be a small affair off McFarland Boulevard and Harper Road near the existing Zaxby's, Big Lots and Tractor Supply store.
