How You Can Help

Send A Letter NOW! It Matters!

City Managers receive and read citizen letters which are included in project review packets provided to all members of the Planning & Zoning Board. Make sure your voice is heard! The more letters the better!!!


  • Send a letter to the City of Highwood expressing your objection to MYAC’s rezoning proposal. 
  • Request that the City of Highwood’s Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council denies MYAC’s request for a zoning change from 4 “residential” acres to “commercial.” 
  • Ask that your “Public Comments” (the formal/legal name for your letter) be submitted into the “Public Record” and “be forwarded to the Planning & Zoning Committee.”
  • Email your letter to Highwood City Manager, Scott Coren. Also copy Mayor Charlie Pecaro and all 6 of Highwood’s City Council/Alderman. All are listed below, and a sample letter follows.
