Changes Around Town: We got it right.

The Blue Mt. Outlook published a long nice article about Just Bargains saying they were staying in GT. Well, they have moved as this blog reported. They are moving to COLTON next to Big Lots.

Fear not a very nice replacement tenant has been secured for that space and will be moving in as soon as renovations are completed. I know who it is but, will not spill the beans until I am given the go ahead on it.

Residents should also look for a new business between the US Karate Dojo and Bonnello's Pizza. This leaves only one space available in that development the old Rags for Dolls space. That is a good occupancy rate in these economic times.

The GT Shopping Center continues to provide retail and service opportunities for our community. This provides a bit of sales tax for our city. Jacobsen/Schwab/Berry team plans have so far been a negative impact on city revenue.

Perhaps Schwab would like to return his retirement for the taxes lost because of his folly. City Owned or RDA Owned properties don't collect taxes either.

Perhaps there should be a stipulation that requires a developer who closes a business to make way for new development should have to replace the lost sales tax during the duration of the development being built and occupied.

One more thing. Why is CVS/Jacobsen allowed to have a storage container in their parking lot? This is not within the Specification of the Building Codes in GT. Where is CODE ENFORCEMENT when it comes to big city developers? Did Schwab or Berry give them special permission to have a container there? It was not on the Council Approved Plans. How do I get to have the same right on my property?
