OPINION —
As beautiful as Lee County is, why does the county not have ordinances in place to not allow personal property or private property to become an eyesore with the collection of inoperable vehicles, scrap metal or garbage collection and/or other debris to be collected and stored on many properties throughout the county? This is an eyesore and a health/environmental issue. This county has seen so much growth within the past 15 years of many businesses and manufacturing companies that now call Lee County home.
If the county commissioners want to continue to attract these types of businesses and manufacturing companies — as well as a qualified work force to fill the employment opportunities and increase the county tax base — why not create and pass county legislation (ordinances)? I know the city of Auburn/Opelika has many such ordinances in place to keep personal property or private property free of the aforementioned collection of inoperable vehicles, scrap metal or garbage collection and/or other debris from being collected and becoming an eyesore and a health/environmental issue.
