Subject: Support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s Conditional Use Request
Dear [Recipient],
I hope this message finds you well, and I would like to begin by thanking you for your dedicated service to Lafayette County. I am writing to express my strong support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s upcoming conditional use request. Stonewater has established itself as a crucial resource in our community, providing transformative care for young boys who are working to rebuild their lives.
The Stonewater Summit Program is an 8-bed, highly selective program designed to support young men who have made significant progress in their treatment. These adolescents are given the opportunity to further their personal development while also assuming leadership roles by mentoring other residents. The Summit Program is integral in cultivating a positive environment for both the participants and the community at large.
Stonewater has consistently adhered to the County’s zoning regulations. The center has taken extensive steps to ensure its operations align with local requirements, including the installation of a secure fence, gates, and the establishment of 24-hour security. These measures demonstrate Stonewater’s commitment to being a responsible and safe neighbor.
Beyond their operational efforts, Stonewater has made significant contributions to Oxford’s economy, employing over 50 local residents and attracting families from across the nation, which supports local businesses and charitable organizations. The Summit Program, in particular, will help to reduce incidents of elopement, which have already decreased significantly in recent years.
I believe approving the conditional use request for the Summit Program is an important step in ensuring Stonewater continues to serve the community effectively. I appreciate your time and consideration in supporting this valuable resource.
Sincerely,

Hi [Recipient],
I hope you're doing well, and thank you for everything you do for Lafayette County. I'm writing to show my support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s conditional use request. Stonewater has been an incredible resource in our community, helping young boys transform their lives and find a new sense of purpose.
The Stonewater Summit Program is a small, 8-bed program designed to help young men who have made real progress in their treatment. It gives them a chance to continue their growth while also taking on leadership roles to mentor others. This program is all about building strong, positive role models for other residents, and I believe it will benefit the entire community.
Stonewater has always gone above and beyond to comply with the county’s zoning requirements. They’ve put up a fence and gates around their 65-acre property and have a 24/7 security team to keep everything secure. They’ve shown they are committed to being a good neighbor.
Additionally, Stonewater brings a lot to our local economy. They employ over 50 people from the area and attract families from across the country, which helps local businesses and charities. The Summit Program will also help reduce elopements, which have already decreased significantly over the last few years. Stonewater reduced these events from 23 in 2022 to just 3 in 2023.
I truly believe approving this request is a positive step for our community. Thank you for considering Stonewater’s impact and support for the Summit Program.
Best,

Hi [Recipient],
I hope you’re doing well, and thanks for everything you do for Lafayette County! I’m writing to show my support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s conditional use request. Stonewater has been such an important resource for young boys who want to turn their lives around, and I think the Summit Program is a great addition to what they’re already doing.
The Stonewater Summit Program is a small 8-bed program aimed at young men who’ve made progress in their treatment and are ready to take on leadership roles. They not only get more support but also have the chance to mentor others. This program is all about giving these young guys a purpose and helping them grow, and I think it’s something the community can really benefit from.
Stonewater has always made an effort to follow the county’s rules and be a good neighbor. They put up a fence and gates around their 65-acre property and have 24/7 security to make sure everything stays safe. They’ve done a lot to fit in with the area, and I think they’ve done a great job.
On top of that, Stonewater does a lot for the local economy. They employ over 50 people in Oxford, and families from all over the country come to Oxford for their services. That’s good for local businesses and charities.
If the county wants to make sure Stonewater is even more in line with zoning, I think approving the Summit Program is the way to go. By keeping the peer leaders on-site longer, they can help reduce things like elopements, which have already gone down significantly. In fact, Stonewater has gone from 23 elopements in 2022 to just 3 in 2023, which is a huge improvement.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that Stonewater is incompatible with the zoning when they’ve followed all the guidelines. Other businesses that are also grandfathered into the zoning have been approved for expansion, so Stonewater should have the same chance. Plus, Stonewater’s setup is much quieter and more residential than other businesses, like the food service place directly across the street.
I’m all for supporting Stonewater’s conditional use request. They’ve done so much for the community, and I think the Summit Program will be a great next step for them. Thanks for your time, and I hope you’ll consider supporting them!
Take care,

Hi [Recipient],
I hope you're doing well, and thank you for all the work you do for Lafayette County. I’m reaching out to show my support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s conditional use request. Stonewater has become a vital part of our community, offering a second chance to young boys who are working to turn their lives around.
The Stonewater Summit Program is an 8-bed program designed for young men who have made significant progress in their treatment and are ready to take on leadership roles. These young leaders also have the opportunity to mentor others, which makes a big difference in their development. It’s a unique program that helps build responsibility, maturity, and a sense of purpose.
Stonewater has always worked hard to follow the county’s zoning rules, and they’ve made significant efforts to be a good neighbor. They’ve built a beautiful fence and gates around their 65-acre property, and they’ve put in place a 24/7 security team to make sure the area stays safe and secure. They’ve gone above and beyond to meet the county’s needs.
Beyond that, Stonewater contributes to the local economy in a big way. They employ more than 50 people right here in Oxford, and they bring in families from all over the country, which helps local businesses and charities. Their positive impact on the community is something we should all appreciate.
If the county wants Stonewater to be more in line with zoning, I believe approving the Summit Program is a step in the right direction. Keeping peer leaders on campus for longer periods will help reduce incidents like elopements, which have already dropped significantly in recent years. Stonewater has reduced elopements from 23 in 2022 to just 3 in 2023, well below the national average.
It doesn’t seem fair to say that Stonewater isn’t compatible with zoning when they’ve been following all the county’s guidelines. Other businesses that were grandfathered into the zoning have been approved for growth, including one directly across the street. I truly believe Stonewater’s operation is more compatible with zoning than many other businesses. Their setup is residential, with kids living on the property in a safe, structured environment, which is much quieter and less disruptive than businesses that rely on deliveries and constant traffic.
In short, I strongly support the approval of Stonewater’s conditional use request. They’ve done a lot for the community, and I think continuing their work with the Summit Program is a great step forward. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you’ll consider supporting this valuable resource.

Subject: In Support of Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s Conditional Use Request
Dear [Recipient],
Thank you for your dedication to Lafayette County. I am writing to express my unwavering support for the conditional use request submitted by Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center. This center has consistently proven to be an invaluable asset to our community, playing a crucial role in transforming the lives of young boys in need of guidance and care.
The Stonewater Summit Program is a unique and highly selective 8-bed program designed to give young leaders—those who have already made significant progress in their treatment—a chance to further their development. These adolescents not only continue their recovery but also have the opportunity to mentor others on their healing journeys, further enhancing their growth and leadership skills. It is a program that builds both individual strength and community.
Stonewater’s commitment to maintaining a safe and harmonious presence within the county is evident in the significant steps they’ve taken to comply with zoning regulations. They have implemented numerous changes to their property, including the construction of a beautiful fence and gates around their 65-acre campus and the establishment of 24-hour security teams. These efforts demonstrate that Stonewater is dedicated to meeting the county’s requirements and ensuring their operations align with the surrounding community.
Additionally, Stonewater’s presence in Oxford has contributed greatly to the local economy. The center employs more than 50 people from the area, and it brings in families from across the nation, which supports local businesses and charities. The center’s positive impact on the economy and its philanthropic work further highlight their role as a responsible and caring neighbor.
If the goal is for Stonewater to become even more compatible with the zoning, I believe approving the Stonewater Summit Program is the right step. Keeping peer leaders on campus for longer periods of time will help mitigate negative behaviors, including elopements. The center has already made remarkable strides in reducing elopement incidents, from 23 in 2022 to just 3 in 2023, well below national standards.
It is unfair to categorize Stonewater as incompatible with zoning simply because they have taken the necessary steps to comply with county regulations. Other businesses that were also grandfathered into the zoning have been approved for growth, including a business directly across the street from Stonewater. I believe that Stonewater’s operations are far more compatible with zoning than those of some other commercial enterprises. Unlike food service businesses that generate frequent traffic and noise, Stonewater operates in a peaceful, residential manner, with young residents living on the property in a structured and safe environment.
In closing, I strongly encourage you to support the Stonewater Summit Program and approve their conditional use request. Stonewater has become a critical part of our community, providing essential care for families in Oxford and across the nation. I trust that your decision will reflect the positive impact they have on the lives of young people and the community as a whole.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Subject: Strong Support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s Conditional Use Request
Dear [Recipient],
I want to begin by thanking you for your continued service to Lafayette County. I’m writing to you today in support of Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center’s upcoming conditional use request. As a facility that serves a vital role in the community, Stonewater has proven itself to be an essential resource for young individuals seeking recovery and transformation.
The Stonewater Summit Program, which is an 8-bed, highly selective initiative, offers critical support to adolescents who have already made significant strides in their recovery journey. This program provides a unique opportunity for these young men to not only continue their growth but also take on mentorship roles, helping to guide their peers through their treatment process. It is a program designed to support those with the potential to become leaders, further enhancing the impact of Stonewater’s mission.
Stonewater has been a part of Lafayette County for years, and throughout this time, they have consistently complied with the zoning regulations that govern their operations. They’ve taken significant steps to be a positive presence in the community, including installing a secure fence and gates around their 65-acre property, along with establishing a comprehensive security team to provide round-the-clock safety. These measures reflect their ongoing commitment to being a responsible and considerate neighbor to all.
Stonewater’s role in the local economy cannot be overstated. They employ over 50 people from our community, bringing in families from across the country, which in turn supports Oxford’s economy and local businesses. Furthermore, Stonewater’s contributions to local charities reflect their deep commitment to the welfare of the community at large.
As for the issue of zoning, I strongly believe that approving the Stonewater Summit Program will align with the County’s goal of ensuring that all businesses are compatible with local zoning laws. The program will allow the center to better support new residents, particularly by maintaining peer leaders on-site for longer periods. This will help reduce the number of elopement incidents, which have already seen a drastic decrease over the past two years. In fact, Stonewater reduced elopements from 23 in 2022 to just 3 in 2023, a statistic well below national averages.
Stonewater’s operation is residential in nature, unlike many other businesses in the area. Its customers live on-site in a controlled, peaceful environment, as opposed to a commercial operation that might disrupt the neighborhood with constant deliveries or noise. This makes Stonewater a much better fit within the existing zoning requirements compared to some other businesses.
In conclusion, I fully support Stonewater’s conditional use request. Their presence in Lafayette County has been nothing short of a blessing, both for the individuals they serve and for the broader community. Thank you for considering this important request, and for your continued service to the county.
Sincerely,

Dear [Recipient],
I hope this message finds you well, and thank you for your ongoing service to Lafayette County. I’m writing to offer my strong support for the upcoming conditional use request submitted by Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center. This center has become a valuable resource within our community, playing a pivotal role in helping young boys transform their lives and find new meaning.
The Stonewater Summit Program, a carefully curated 8-bed program, is designed to give young leaders—those who have shown significant progress in their recovery—a further opportunity for growth. These individuals not only receive additional guidance but also serve as mentors for others currently undergoing treatment. The positive impact of this program on the adolescents involved cannot be overstated.
Stonewater was grandfathered into the County’s zoning laws when it first opened and has since adhered to every requirement set forth by the County to ensure its operations align with local regulations. These efforts include the installation of a secure fence and gates around the entire 65-acre property, as well as the establishment of a 24-hour security team to ensure the safety of both the residents and the surrounding community.
As someone who deeply values the presence of such a dedicated and purpose-driven organization, I fully support the Stonewater Summit Program and believe it represents a natural and beneficial growth opportunity for the center. The program would specifically focus on residents who have completed at least two months of treatment and have shown the potential to positively influence others. Importantly, the introduction of this program will help further reduce incidents of elopement, a statistic that has already dramatically improved in recent years. Stonewater has reduced these events from 23 in 2022 to just 3 in 2023 and 4 in 2024—well below the national average.
Moreover, Stonewater provides employment for over 50 local residents and generates significant economic activity by attracting families from across the country to Oxford. This has not only helped to strengthen our local economy but also contributed to numerous charitable causes in the area.
If the County’s goal is to enhance compatibility with zoning requirements, I believe that approving the Stonewater Summit Program will directly serve this aim. By keeping peer leaders on the premises for extended periods, the center will continue to improve the behaviors of newly admitted residents, ultimately reducing negative incidents like elopements.
Finally, it would be unjust to suggest that Stonewater is incompatible with its zoning status, especially when much of the perceived incompatibility arises from the center’s active efforts to meet the County’s requests. Other businesses that were grandfathered into the zoning, including a food service business directly across the street from Stonewater, have been approved for expansion, and Stonewater should be afforded the same opportunity. Stonewater’s business model is much more compatible with the zoning, as it is based on residential care for young boys, rather than a commercial operation like a food service business that generates noise and traffic throughout the day.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my support for Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center. This center plays a vital role in supporting families both locally and nationwide, and I believe it will continue to be a tremendous asset to our community.

Dear [Recipient],
Thank you for your dedicated service to Lafayette County. I am writing to express my support for the upcoming conditional use request from Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center, an organization that plays a vital role in the lives of young individuals seeking to transform their futures. Stonewater offers a transformative environment for boys who have made the decision to rededicate their lives to a new path of meaning and purpose.
One of Stonewater’s key initiatives is the Stonewater Summit Program, a small and highly selective 8-bed program designed to provide additional stepping stones for adolescents who have demonstrated leadership potential. This program also creates opportunities for these adolescents to mentor others currently undergoing treatment, further enhancing their journey.
Stonewater was grandfathered into the County’s zoning as an operable business, and since then, they have worked diligently to comply with all County requests to ensure their operations are in harmony with the zoning requirements. Notable improvements have been made, such as the construction of a beautiful fence and gates around their expansive 65-acre property, as well as the establishment of 24/7 security teams, among other measures.
I strongly support Stonewater’s growth plan, as it represents a crucial resource for families in Oxford and beyond. If I had a child or grandchild in need of such services, I would be truly grateful for the presence of this facility in our community. Stonewater has proven to be a responsible and thoughtful neighbor, and I believe they will continue to uphold those standards as they expand.
The Stonewater Summit Program is designed to support residents who have already completed an average of two months of treatment. These individuals have been identified as emerging leaders with the potential for making a positive impact on their peers. Importantly, Stonewater’s commitment to safety and security has led to a significant reduction in elopements, dropping from 23 events in 2022 to just 3 in 2023 and 4 in 2024. This decrease is well below national standards, demonstrating the effectiveness of their approach. Notably, all elopements in 2023 and 2024 occurred within the first 30 days of treatment, a factor Stonewater is actively working to address.
Stonewater employs over 50 local residents, supports numerous charitable organizations, and brings families from all over the country to Oxford, contributing positively to the local economy. If the County’s goal is to make Stonewater more compatible with zoning requirements, the approval of the Stonewater Summit Program would directly support that aim. Keeping peer leaders on campus for longer periods will help redirect negative behaviors such as elopements, ensuring that incidents continue to decrease rather than increase.
It would be unfair to claim that Stonewater is incompatible with zoning, especially when much of the perceived incompatibility stems from Stonewater's diligent efforts to comply with the County’s requests. Other businesses grandfathered into the zoning have been approved for growth, including a business directly across the street from Stonewater. While some might argue that a food service business is more compatible, I believe Stonewater’s operation is far more aligned with the zoning. Unlike businesses that involve frequent deliveries and noise, Stonewater’s operations are residential in nature, with customers living on the property in a peaceful and structured environment.
I appreciate your time and consideration in supporting this invaluable resource that provides nationally recognized medical care to children and families in need.
Sincerely,
