It is interesting that I've heard a couple of our "downtown" businesses are looking at moving to the Towne Mall.  I'm guessing city admin can't be too happy about this!]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:20:26 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5087&PID=36964&title=council-retreat-3022013#36964 COUNCIL RETREAT 3-02-2013 : Mike, I think that would be a... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5087&PID=36963&title=council-retreat-3022013#36963 Author: over the hill

You can bet your bottom dollar that City Hall will try to influence the mall's redevelopment.  The Master Plan included Kohler's and the other denizens of City Hall's views of what THEY want there, and they will try to get it (whether it is commercially feasable or not).  It will not be their money on the line, so they won't care whether or not it will be a financial success.  They'll just want it to have the "artsy", toney, "up town" look, with all signs of evil business hidden from view.


Hopefully, the new owners are aware of the city's reputation of ruining everything they touch and politely tell the city to stay away. The city has the downtown to ruin. They've already done their damage out by the freeway, given the condition of the entryway and ramps. Looks like Desolation Row out there. Kohler and the other city hacks need to stay out of the mall development. Nothing but trouble if they get involved and will doom any opportunities for success. They just flat out don't know how to successfully develop anything. Look at their track record. ]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 07:44:56 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5087&PID=36961&title=council-retreat-3022013#36961 COUNCIL RETREAT 3-02-2013 : great it has taken 30 years... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5087&PID=36960&title=council-retreat-3022013#36960 Author: spiderjohn

Thank you for that info!!!
According to that PDF, they will "gather by suite 154--President's Tuxedo".
 
Perhaps I'll try to attend and report back to the MiddletownUSA audience.

This is supposedly a PUBLIC meeting, but I notice that they didn't say WHERE (within Northgate Mall, a fairly large venue) the meeting would take place.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:09:22 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5087&PID=36956&title=council-retreat-3022013#36956
