Check in With the Merchants, Steering Committee!
It’s great to plan for the future. It’s not great that a group of people are planning for other people’s future when the haven’t even checked on these business owners.
Pushing a BID for nine months in regular times didn’t work. (Yes, they have been beating this dead horse since July 2019.) In April 2020, many businesses are fighting to stay open – most have been ordered closed by the city. Why is the Steering Committee so disconnected?
Pushing a BID during a pandemic is just mean. You all know better.
Chuck Otey, the journalist who wrote the article is on the steering committee. Chuck wrote about the BID this and it didn’t work. Otey thinks he can sway the community with an article (those days are long gone Chuck….Chuck reads this blog on occassion and wrote me two mean messages)
Ridgites want the merchants in our area to survive in 2020.
Hugs,
