Marvin - the village

I went to the Marvin Village meeting tonight, to catch the tail end of how they are dealing with the proposed development from Longview South, LLC. Well I wish I knew the history for sure, but you could just cut the tension in the air. At first is was difficult for the town council to get Lonview to commit to a sit down, but they finally did. 2 on 2. Really it ends up the meeting will just be about the "Rules of Engagement" about how to act at any future meetings. Boy I hope something gets accomplished. I have seen what Longview builds, it would be a shame to walk away from the table. I am sure they will give us some Open spaces!

If you knew the history, you would understand why the developer was hesitant to even come to the table. The Village of Marvin, has suffered a big loss, financially, because of the loss of the tax base of this excellent project, but they probably wouldn't see it that way.   No one should be denied input, and the neighbors certainly should have a say in how the mixed use project would best fit into the community but.... the mindset at the current time of the community is that ALL development is bad.  Such a shame! 

 We should do lunch some time.  Best wishes in your business!
