Fuentes explains. The standard applies equally to agricultural ventures like the dairy processing facility and residential developments seeking to address housing needs. Each proposal faces the same fundamental question: does it enhance or diminish the qualities that define Clinton County as a place where families choose to put down roots? The approach may limit certain opportunities, but it points to deliberate choice by a community that has watched neighboring areas struggle with rapid change.
