Greetings Councilmembers,
I am writing to express the hopes that you will consider creating a community benefits
agreement for the Carousel Mall development project.
The city needs to do what it can to benefit the community and provide a development that
provides a good aesthetic and environmental impact. With as many warehouses that have been
going up, it would be nice to see something that projects progress in another direction and a
space that the community can use and will instill pride in the area.
The development also needs to do what it can to provide good jobs for a city that has been
inundated with low wage and low benefit jobs from the many warehouses in the area. People
need jobs that present them with dignity and an opportunity to progress into the middle class.
Thanks for your time and consideration,
Kirk Garrison
