The Issue
What’s being built, how it was approved, and why neighbors are paying attention.
Independence GUARD Alliance — Guardians United Against Reckless Development — formed when neighbors learned of a massive industrial development moving forward in our community with little public input. We are residents, not developers and not politicians.
What we stand for
- Common-sense, generational development — growth that still makes sense for the families who live here decades from now.
- Transparency — decisions made in the open, with the records available to everyone.
- Community input — meaningful chances for residents to weigh in before, not after, the votes.
How we work
We file Missouri Sunshine Law requests for public records, then post the responses here so you can read them yourself rather than take anyone's word for it. We track upcoming meetings and votes, explain what's on the agenda in plain language, and help neighbors show up and be heard.
Our homes. Our neighborhood. Our line.
