The Ozarks Property Rights Congress applauds the decision by the West Plains Council on the Arts and Ozarks Preservation Inc. to stop their pursuit of the proposed National Heritage Area designation for the 13-county area in southern Missouri. We thank them for listening to the landowners and citizens in general.
OPRC also expresses appreciation to the many, many citizens across the entire 13 county area for making their concerns heard regarding the designation.
We wish the sponsors of this attempt well as they pursue other avenues to achieve their worthwhile goals that do not require alignment with regulatory government agencies or funding with taxpayers’ dollars.
