Cedar Lake residents are facing a crossroads on Tuesday over the vision of how the town will grow in the coming years.
Public pressure over the density of residential developments prompted residents to come out in large numbers to voice their opposition, taking their displeasure to the polls in May when they voted against several Republican incumbents in the primary. Republican voters ousted incumbent at-large councilmen John Foreman and Richard Sharpe, opting instead for their challengers Richard Thiel Jr. and Larry Nagy.
“I strongly believe we need more transparency to allow citizens of Cedar Lake to understand more about the projects being planned for our town and how they will impact us,” Nagy said in a statement, adding updates on current and future projects should be made public at town council meetings. “This would help earn the trust of the taxpayers,” Nagy said. The town also needs to attract more small businesses to help ease the tax burden on homeowners, he said.
