I think it's a good idea. The economic benefits will be great. It will make millions of dollars for the city. They will hire 3,200 people. Hopefully most of them will be from Barstow. |
Some people say Barstow is a hot spot in the desert, but I'm proud of Barstow. |
The world is changing. People need to realize and Barstow needs to be more productive so it doesn't end up like Calico (a ghost town). |
They will need places to live, so there would be more construction, houses, and families. |
We need more people around here and we need to grow. We are 25 years behind Victorville. |
We need the Marine base. (Burlington Northern) Santa Fe and Fort Irwin can't support Barstow alone. If people don't make money they can't stay here. |
Where are all the kids who graduated the last 25 years? There is nothing to keep them here. |
