The 11 Commandments of Granville:

1. Granville is special and it is something worth fighting for.
2. I live/moved here because it is unique; therefore I do not support anything that may make it common and/or plain. Doing so only destroys what I have come to love.
3. Granville is a destination; therefore, I do not encourage any business, venture, or zoning code that could rob me of that.
4. Every landowner/developer that has bought land in Granville in the past 100 years knows exactly what they signed up for; a higher standard.
5. If I want Granville to remain a destination I will create a zoning code that will attract independent entrepreneurs that make Granville unique.
6. I will speak out and live up to the fact that, yes, we are different; we have a higher standard; all growth is not acceptable.
7. I will live in and protect one of the last bastions of rural, educated America.
8. If I want to eat at Hoggy’s I have no problem going to New Albany.
9. I do not support any land developer that is not part of the community and does not share our values.
10. I will support every local merchant through good times and bad. This is how we sustain a community.
11. If I want to increase the value of my real property, I do not encourage growth.

Yours eventually,

Silence B. Good
