Another attendee who spoke during the meeting, James Skowronski, said in an interview his concerns are also about “losing” parts of his Secor roadside property. “They [would] move the roadway too close to my house, and I [would] have no privacy between my house and Secor,” Mr. Skowronski said. “ ...
