We must take care of our crown jewel

Published Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Dear Editor:

In the July issue of Lake magazine, there is a well written article describing in detail the huge impact that Lake Martin has on the East Central Alabama economy.

That value being billions of dollars in appraised property value, millions of dollars in retail sales, thousands of jobs and tremendous growth opportunity.

Everyone in the three-county area bordering the lake receives a direct positive benefit from this economic "crown jewel."

With this in mind, it is very evident that we as stakeholders must accept responsibility for this fragile resource. We must elect city, county and state officials who share our beliefs and pledge to do everything in their power to protect and maintain the natural beauty of Lake Martin.
