He gets many points for sticking with us.Nancy Floreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446289838311025707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-34589352785296219732012-01-20T13:13:53.696-05:002012-01-20T13:13:53.696-05:00Definitely worth reading all the way to the end!

I'm not sure about the $40 million if the project is not economically feasible from the start.Cindy Cotte Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335265964226823295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-35526622553655912732012-01-20T12:31:09.546-05:002012-01-20T12:31:09.546-05:00And it seems like the county finally *gets it* by ...And it seems like the county finally *gets it* by trying to jump start the process with $40 million for big developer. Yet all we're going to hear on this site and others is more whining about saving the "mom and pops." As we now know, developers like Greenberg own all those shops, not mom and pop. Let the loan happen and let's get Wheaton caught up with the rest of the county. Go Greenberg!reallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674743760393227368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-63231939387720048612012-01-20T11:30:34.199-05:002012-01-20T11:30:34.199-05:00Extremely interesting.

I think Greenberg is certainly correct that the county needs to do more to focus on smart urbanism in Wheaton (and everywhere else, for that matter). Seems like most of the county's focus has been on North Bethesda/355 and Wheaton/Georgia Avenue has suffered from being on the back burner. I certainly wish Greenberg and Wheaton the best.jag2923https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643222673053580872noreply@blogger.com
