Downtown Kennesaw looks really great in some spots but looks really bad in more. What in the world is the butterfly house and how is that up to code? Spray painted house and broken windows? What about the burnt out buildings by the gas station they just look unappealing on that side. The run down buildings and very dated looking buildings between bernies and big shanty barbershop. Don’t get people started on the eye sore of all Kennesaw wildmans.

Our elected officials continue to approve luxury condos and high priced hotels. Tourist businesses exacerbate the need for short-term, seasonal housing when the Teton County Comp Plan has prioritized housing for long-term, residents of the County. And then, elected officials, seasonal workers and owners of hotels, restaurants and other tourist related businesses expect the whole community to help them house their seasonal employees. And this selfish, greedy attitude pushes elected officials and hotel owners into trying to move housing into rural areas of Teton County--- for the benefit of the tourist industry business owners. When do the long-term residents, kids who grew up in Teton County and can't afford to live in their community and retired workers matter? Why does the tourist industry get all the benefits? I am tired of the inequality, focus on growth and greed and pressure on the true long-term residents to pay unaffordable property taxes and provide housing for the short-term seasonal workers for wealthy, tourist related business owners.
Enough promotion of Jackson Hole! We’re on the map. We don’t need further summer promotion. We keep cramming more and more people into this valley. We now have poor water quality in our streams and overcrowded national parks. This diminishes the quality of the experience of living in or visiting Jackson Hole
I am sure the ecosystem in Jackson is long gone. We have huge pollution here (carbon foot print), bad water and lots of traffic.people think it is only natural for a town to become a city but not when the city is "the wild west". That is also long gone. Seems like luxury, parties, destruction of natural resources and "wild life" is taken with a grain of salt. (i.e snowking mountain with her huge scars front and back previously protected for wildlife..They close Josie for wildlife purposes..for wildlfe??..Think about the name wildlife. I would love to keep Jackson reasonable small. ?What is wrong with that
<strong>Are there any historically or culturally significant buildings or sites in Kennesaw that you feel are in danger of being lost or altered? And what role should the city play in helping to preserve and protect these?</strong>
Turn the old library into something….where local artists can display work, some sort of event space…something useful
The Lazy Labrador did a wonderful job restoring that building! It would be nice to see something similar done to the Painted Butterfly, the old library, antique store on Main Street, the hair salon next to it, etc. Any of these buildings would make such a unique artist co-op which would help attract more people to downtown Kennesaw.
There are a number of homes in and around the historic district that appear neglected and abandoned. Give these homes life by encouraging existing owners to sell them to buyers that will maintain them. Either to people that will live in them or to businesses to open shop inside.
The three story brick building on Main should be preserved and looks to be in fairly good condition except for the front where the Civil War “museum” is housed. That should be cleaned out and cleaned up.
Nope. You should especially tear down the racist store in downtown Kennesaw. What you're doing downtown is atrocious with the huge mixed-used development and not charming AT ALL.
<strong>Which culturally or historically significant buildings or sites do you feel are most important to the community?</strong><br>
I wish we would turn the old library into a great venue for local artists to display (possibly sell) their art. The tunnel could have some beautiful murals painted in it. The end of the building where Wildman’s (ugh, can we get rid of that place already?) is, is a beautiful and unused space.
<strong>What are the most significant natural and environmental resources in the area? <br>What role should the City play in helping to preserve and protect these? Natural and environmental resources can include bodies of water, wildlife and wildlife habitat, forests, undeveloped land, etc.</strong><br>
QUIT MASS CLEARING ACRES UPON ACRES OF LAND TO BUILD UGLY APARTMENT BUILDINGS!!!!!!!-WE ARE ALREADY SEEING WILDLIFE SCURRYING TO FIND HOMES AND DEALING WITH FLOODING ISSUES!!!
The increase in utilitarian high density housing is really ruining the aesthetic of the community. It is losing its beauty and being replaced by massive buildings that all look the same and destroying lots of land in the process.
Small town feel.
