Yes, it should be done in a timely manner. We need to know that the offer is serious, but this may be a blown opportunity. <br /><br />The construction jobs are temporary and I'm not against work but what we will have in the years to come is the more important issue. If Publix or another grocer wants to come to North Hickory, GREAT. I'd love a Publix here. But if they are coming they will find the property. Got to give kudos to the Mayor on this one.

&quo...I am posting this comment for Steve Ivester:<br /><br />"They never asked Ms Greathouse a single question, this in spite of her offer to answer questions. It was almost like they were afraid to know. They could likely have come away from the meeting with a check for $900,000 and the land intact. Instead they came away with a check for $15,000 with a six months out "maybe". And, there are several other suitable, and maybe more appropriate, sites along 127 N." <br /><br />- You can always post comments. Unfortunately, I have to moderate the site now. I will post your comments as promptly as possible.James Thomas Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359970774315269896noreply@blogger.com
