City records show that the 4 parcels the city intends to sell to the developer in secret, closed negotiations, they paid $800,0000 for and have in escrow to sell for $1,700,000. to the developer. Therefore, the FEW citizens of Grand Terrace, those who were threatened & "cooperated" with city threats of eminent domain were really the chumps off whom the city mades a cool million dollars in profit!! So much profit, the CRA can STILL sell the property to Stater and Loews Big Boxes for about half the price of the open market. This is about getting RID of residents who cost money, and getting taxes from out of town spenders. City hall does not care about us residents, we cost money & watch what they do.

"Wetland's and Park or Cement Dust and Trucks"

The EIR report for the Manhole builders site is available at the city counter in Grand Terrace, it says that there will be NO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, AND THEREFORE A APPROVAL IS REOMMENDED WITH A NEGATIVE DECLARATION. The report however, sites a gas station on Barton Road, so perhaps that is also intended here. Opposition groups spoke up that none of the roads in the area were constructed to handle the big truck traffic, and that no city or county owned the 60 year old black top railroad road. But hey, this is progress. NOT! Building & Safety is HIRED to protect the safety of the FOLKS, not just themselves & their pockets. Attend planning & council meeting to see for yourself. PROTECT OUR TOWN!

Dear Mr. Developer, I read about the ground breaking for the SavOn, but I don't see any construction there yet. Why don't you show us that completed project before you plan another one in town. Is this one already leased at $2.00 per foot? Who are the other tenants there? Will you repair the roads, curbs and gutter around your site? Are any tax increment bonds being used to finance this? If so that drains money away from school and community services & needs. Let's take it slow & get acquainted with you first, OK?2:34 PM
