Laura Gilbert of Bowling Green has created an online petition that may be signed by supporters of the National Corvette Museum‘s Motorsports Park in its strife with the residents of Clarke Circle.
As you’ve probably heard, the park has been in a bit of a scuffle with its neighboring residents over noise complaints were filed. While the park has been doing what it can to try and mend the sore ears of the residents, with noise berms and other sound-reducing obstructions, no solution proposed thus far has sufficed.
“We feel like the museum and the track are a huge part of this community and its economy,” Gilbert said in an interview with the Bowling Green Daily News. “The folks at NCM have lent a hand and we started the petition. It’s really important people understand what the NCM means for Bowling Green. We have a lot of support here in Bowling Green but, honestly, a lot from the folks all over. These are people who love coming here and spend money here.”
The petition will allow folks who may not be local to the area to show their support after the City-County Planning Commission of Warren County announced that it will table its decision in order to flesh out more information, and before Warren District Judge John Brown makes his decision on NCM’s appeal . It reads:
We support the NCM Motorsports Park and want it to be successful as long as the neighbors’ ability to enjoy their homes and properties is not adversely affected. Therefore, we support the park’s request for an Amended Detailed Development Plan from the City-County Planning Commission to develop noise abatement structures to further protect neighbors. Moreover, we believe that the National Corvette Museum and NCM Motorsports Park are assets to the community as demonstrated by the $35 million in economic benefits they generate for the City of Bowling Green. We applaud their efforts to serve as a good corporate citizen and neighbor, and urge the favorable consideration of their application.

Signed, hopefully it helps. Thanks for the link, I’ll pass it along to everyone I know.
I’m honestly shocked that I’m the only one who has posted ANYTHING to this. C’mon people! Yet, we can get replies regarding an isusu, REALLY? Support the NCM Motorsports park! WTF??
Chill, C4ce, everyone can sign the petition and not post comments here. My wife and I did, and I’m sure a flood of people will.
the NCM should just buy out the complainers and rent out the houses to make the mortgage payments. would be cheaper than paying lawyers
Sorry to here that the people can not be OK with the park and with all the good it is doing and well do for hole town of Bowling Green and all the local Bus. in the local area. I believe that all of this should of and could have been talked about when all this was started along time ago. I sure hope that the hole pic. is looked at and this can be put to sleep very soon so we can get on to better things real soon. I only get to visit there every so often because of us living so far away here in Delaware but we support the NCM in every way we can because of the GREAT jobs they all do for the city and all the history they are in trusted with for all of are kids and everyone. Please look at the big PICTURE. Thank you all very much.
I’ve signed from Oregon and also hope it helps! Good luck to NCM in handling this issue.
