Recently there have been some storm clouds over neighborhoods that fear the impact of businesses trying to get permission to do business among them. 

Locating a kennel in a residential area  and a cement plant adjacent to conservation land and dense neighborhoods certainly sound like cause for speaking up in defense of keeping the neighborhood free of unsettling noise, smells, and dust.

Some time ago, other neighborhoods put out signs with the message: “Respect the Integrity of the Neighborhood.”  Not a bad concept.
