UPDATE

We are still not seeing anything being done to the old GST lot. But that doesn't matter, the borough council has decided to do what they can for now and widen foundry alley. All the while that also means they can create a little chaos for Fleetwood Pizza and our upstairs tenant. They placed 2 permanent and 2 semi-permanent posts right directly blocking our entire rear parking lot! I really don't care though because they aren't going to get our property. Check out PA senate bill 881 signed in to and in effect as of May 4, 2006. It specially attacks redevelopement of supposed blighted properties that removal of will only benefit another business as PROHIBITED! Not to mention it would put at least 10 people out of work and then ultimately put 3 families out of their homes. That will effect over 18 peoples lives and livelihoods! All for what? So Joe Kuzman gets a walkway for one of his over many apartments buildings! The developer of the GST lot was in to see us a few months ago and he said he doesn't even need them to make a walkway to his lot! So the bullying can continue, those are smal and immature battles, it's who wins the war that really counts! We are not the only property in Fleetwood that had their rear parking lot blocked by posts!

Nothing New

Hi all! There has been no news on that property behind us. We have also not yet seen the cobblestone sidewalks or the new street lighting. I recently saw that Fleetwood borough council member Tammy Gore is running for PA state representative. I read her bio and I can't believe someone who adamantly spoke out FOR tearing our business down for a unnecessary walkway to benefit another businessman endeavors, speaks so highly of her community values. Be very careful when considering her on your ballot, it could be your place next and she's obviously FOR eminent domain abuse. I'm speaking from experience I've listened to her quips at borough meetings personally. I personally believe she is just a yes mam. We need original thinkers with real family values that are truly honest, like her opponent Dave Maloney.
