Request a formal socio-economic impact study specifically for 'Unorganized Township Property Owners' in Melgund to address potential inequities in the 'Host' vs 'Other' community framework.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission establishes a hierarchy by distinguishing 'Host Communities' with signed agreements from 'Other Communities' and 'Unorganized Township Property Owners.' Residents in Melgund lack a municipal government to negotiate the same protections or benefits afforded to 'Host' towns. This creates a risk of economic marginalization, particularly regarding property values and social cohesion. The Proponent must provide a transparent mechanism for how the concerns of these unorganized residents are weighted in the effects assessment. Ensuring these voices are not siloed will improve the project's social license and provide a more accurate picture of regional socio-economic health."
