Today at 4:30 YOU will have the opportunity to see the new Master Plan created by Urban Salisbury. Fortunately, I have seen the new plan and am eager to hear more details but if there's one meeting you truly don't want to miss, it's the Work session today at 4:30 PM.
Remember Folks, this is the Plan former Mayor Barrie Tilghman didn't want any of you to see. Why, perhaps because she wanted to personally try to pick up on some Downtown Real Estate real cheap and or her friends before they actually did something special to bring back the heart of the City?
We'll see you there at 4:30 PM.

Hope something comes of this and downtown will rise from the ashes ala the Phoenix. My good friend Bill Ahtes will be working on this and with his energy and his fondness for the area it has a great chance. jackkcharl@aol.com
And, if you go to this work session, don't miss the discussion of imposing additional "impact fees" on top of those already charged for the sewer and water systems that kept the microbrewery group from locating at the old train station.
Or we call go with an "adequate public facilities ordinance" to really kill growth. Let's drive away the developers and jobs now that the economy is sick as a dog!
Is Jim really that tall? He looks like a giant against that doorway.

You're right on about the microbrewery. Salisbury didn't want the kind of investment that would have gone in the train station; it would have helped clean up the neighborhood and bring in real jobs. The owners put the microbrewery in Joe's town, Delmar. Folks there saw a good thing coming. Joe probably helped, too. That's mighty fine beer they make, too, had some the other night at Market Street. Salisbury's loss is Delmar's gain.
I hear they have tastings, too
Tastings Wed-Th, Noon to 5PM. Fri-Sat, Noon to 6PM. 5 bucks gets you 4- 6 oz. samples, and a free glass. Well worth it! Awesome beer!
If it had been a distillery, BPT would have waived that fee ASAP.
The brewery is just one more brick in the wall of proof that says that taxes and fees kill investment and job growth.
Just don't tell the County employees that. They think THEY create the jobs.
I know I will get flamed for this but the taxpayers have to wake up!
The government employees are the enemy of the taxpayer. They are sucking the lifeblood out of all of us.
Click it or Ticket? It's a tax that pays for more ways that they can extract money from us.
Speed cameras? Same thing, they are revenue generators that have to pay for themselves and then the extra money goes to the government.
What do they do then? Hire more people and then invent fees so we can pay more money to grow government even more.
Where will this end?
We're finally getting to the "plan phase"??? Com'on... by the time it rolls out his term will be up!
