• • • I support Grand Strand Humane Society’s new facility on River Oaks Drive because they have designed a beautiful building surrounded by more than 100 acres of nature held for conservation.
    • The architectural renderings submitted show a beautiful facility that will only enhance the existing community. LS3P is a highly esteemed architectural firm.
    • We will be adding multi-tiered interior and exterior sound mitigation such as sound absorption kennel materials, AcoustiBlok Soundproof Fencing and the addition of mature landscaping, berm and water features.
    • GSHS will contribute to the conservation of natural landscape by occupying less than 3% of the 112 acre property leaving the overwhelming majority of this property undeveloped.
    • We will be installing state of the art HVAC and Plumbing – 4, 8 and 12 minute air exchanges, drains in each kennel and extensive well engineered plumbing throughout so that odor will not be a concern.
    • The construction of GSHS on this land will result in less traffic than there would be if this lot was developed with additional homes.
    • Animals shelters are proven to have no reduction in surrounding property value. (St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, Flower Mound Animal Services, Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, Second Chance Animal Center)
