Two Years Ago Today


The old Salisbury Mall started to come down. Can you believe it's been two years and still nothing has become of the eye sore. All the bickering and fighting, everyone wanted something done NOW. Here we sit two years later and it's rarely brought back up again and those who seemed the most concerned now sit idle, almost as if they're too tired to fight any more.

All I can say is, while we're in such harsh economic times and you have a developer who could be forced into getting the ball rolling, the City & County sure don't care very much, do they.

By now we should have at least seen the retail store structures built, yet nothing has happened. Oh well, so much for taxes and jobs.

JOE, are they still collecting interest on the Dream TEAMS T.I.F.?

I think the propert should be condemned...problem is neither city or county have the $$$ to pay just compensation.

Yeah - the fact that they had the money to buy the bonds that financed their project is suspect.

What's the latest with their lawsuit?

Nothing left to condemn. Just the grass in cracks to monitor. How's their troubled development in Virginia coming?

What about that pile of hazardous rubble left behind that they didn't want to spend the money to get rid of? The city just let them leave it there and cover it with gravel. What's up with that?
