First comment, I WISH I could get 12 cents a foot rates. .. but thats what I get for living in one of the more expensive areas of the country, the SF Bay Area. Out here you're lucky to find 80 cents a foot for anything under 10k sq/ft. Having said that......
WTF
Sounds to me like a recent move-in to the neighborhood likes to complain.............
NIMBY'rs want their FEDEX packages today but don't want to know how it gets to them, they prefer to think the tooth fairy has a cousin in the freight business.
Theres a woman out here that first managed to get the Woodland Spreckels sugar plant closed because despite it having been around since WW2 and being the largest employer in town you could smell the place(like a brewery) if the wind was just right. .. as if sugar was the biggest stinker in a farming community.
Then she moved to Cameron Springs because she didn't like the smell of fertilizer and tried to do the same thing to McLellan AFB due to it also being used by FEDEX as an air cargo transit point claiming the planes as they passed some 7k feet above her head disturbed her ability to sleep......... Nothing at all like the song of an unmuffled KC-135
imagine what she would have said to that?
Same thing happened to the (farmers cooperative) "AppleTime" brand apple juice plant in Sonoma county........ a county newcomer (spoiled and newly well to do) didn't like that she could smell the apples being crushed and juiced for some 3 weeks a year. After over 10 years of fighting and durn near daily EPA testing the farmers gave up and sent to production elsewhere losing a large percentage of their income which eventually drove a lot of them out of business.
Short end of a long ramble, it sounds to me like someone doesn't like your projects but the process of fighting can be so long and drawn out that even a win ends up a loss.
I don't know if it will help but my brother Phillip lives in Eugene (call sign KC7HNI), shall I inquire if he can be of any assistance in relocating?
One word of warning, don't challenge him to a game of chess unless you're prepared to LOSE(!).
edit>> wait a sec here. .. you do research for the Feds, that makes you a "Homeland Defense Asset" in an area with a large percentage of retired military personnel. Send a "letter to the editor" to a few local papers and see what happens.
