Isn't this the originally agreed to schedule?

Gentlemen

Please note that the dates of all of our comments above are from January and February 2014…and at last nights council meeting Mr. Landen stated that the Weather Wax Deal still was not completed yet because City Hall was still cleaning up parts of the property and clearing up parts of the deed…WHAT!

However what Mr. Landen didn’t tell us was the cost of all this extra work over the past five months.

a gold mine just across the bridge imo
wish that I would have bought property there years ago--the current buildings are demo material
not sure water/utilities are are there yet
small market there would serve so many, and keep them from crossing bridge, or heading to Trenton/Excello Kroger

the future Oasis, + the Elk Creek Tavern building/corner

There are many out in the township that will "line the bridge" and never allow Middletown to annex us.


You'll be devoured by Middletown, and you're going to like it.

We figure we can fit about 30 Section 8 homes between your house and your neighbors.

What Middletown should do now is Annex the land around Weather Wax. That way if the owner does decide to put up new homes, all that tax money will come into Middletown.]]> Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:08:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41078&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41078 Manchester Inn and Weatherwax : sj, I think par for the course,... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41077&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41077 Author: acclaro

sj, I think par for the course, or another "Mulligan" for city hall, the third downtown as a matter of fact, as you know, what got downtown started was the train possibilities. Undoubtedly, Mr. Thatcher's vision was the culinary function, with hopes the whole campus might have a major presence.

Donham began the snowball with the shuffle of Cohen and the other entities downtown, and the cash that followed the train, and then on the heels of the Polar Express that never arrived, Strickland defeat, then the fall back was the C State culinary institute. Those two dreams fell by the wayside, but the momentum, initially expense, created a runaway train, initially chasing a train....that never came....and a culinary experience....that never came.

I believe you are correct on the reduction from 36 to 18 holes, but suspect that's contingent on turning a profit. The location is close enough to Madison High School that it would do well as a development I assume.    ]]> Thu, 06 Feb 2014 21:51:14 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41077&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41077 Manchester Inn and Weatherwax : Think that maybe they will keep... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41076&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41076 Author: spiderjohn

Think that maybe they will keep 18 holes, and build homes either inside or around the course?

What about the Sonshine building?
Was that part of the Manchester deal?

acclaro's post about Mr.Thatcher's original concept rings true and makes a lot of sense imo]]> Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:28:58 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41076&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41076 Manchester Inn and Weatherwax : That is so true Mide81: Whether... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5616&PID=41075&title=manchester-inn-and-weatherwax#41075 Author: over the hill
