Require a quantitative socio-economic assessment of the 'perception' impacts on land use mentioned in the submission, specifically focusing on property values and tourism in Melgund.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission admits that the project will result in changes to 'how surrounding lands and waters are used due to perception.' For Melgund, where the economy relies on highway traffic and rural residency, 'perception' or stigma can cause tangible economic loss. The Proponent must move beyond acknowledging this as a possibility and provide a concrete plan to quantify and compensate for stigma-induced economic decline in the immediate vicinity of the project."
