ALTON - A new petition on Change.org is calling for a halt to AltonWorks’ proposed development of the Great Rivers National Park. According to the petition starter, many citizens are deeply concerned that this plan could infringe on private property rights and diminish personal freedoms. The petition emphasizes that with 85% of U.S. land being privately held, the transformation of these private lands into a federal park would take away autonomy that many Americans value.
