The Fishwrap is reporting that an effort is finally being made to become more business friendly and welcoming to investors in our central business district. I say, “Here, here!” It’s about time.
Driving down High Street should be an exciting experience, however, it is the opposite as of late. Removing rules and procedures, that needlessly delay construction, is a good thing. If we would work really hard at filling up all those empty retail spaces downtown, it would go a LONG WAY toward helping the tax base, drawing people downtown to spend money on goods and services and creating employment! In the past we have worried about looks (and trees), at any cost, and you see the result. Crickets!
Two Roy’s Rants thumbs up to Jason Bobst and Councilor Chomnuk for cutting through the Hyltonesque gobbledygook and trying to foster a climate that says “Pottstown is open for business”.
This is good news. I mean really, to continue doing the same things that haven’t worked for Pottstown, in a “time honored” tradition, is akin to saying: ” no!!! stay away from Pottstown we don’t want or need your tax money”!! Which is pretty much what the message has sounded like for too long. I don’t want to spend a lot of energy any more on dissing Hylton but what the hell was / is this man thinking?
Well that’s no fun Olive, LOL!
