“There is actually no reason that we can’t have a community that continues to function as a tourist destination but ensures a good quality of life to its year-round residents, and a sense of community and belonging as well. This is what we want. We want to be welcoming to tourists. We love showing off our towns and region, I know I do. We’re proud of all the beauty and joy our area offers, we want to share it. We just don’t want to lose it.”
