Making peace

Coatesville City Council and the RDA are planning a powwow to iron out their differences. Can the relationship be saved?

The city admin. and the RDA will HAVE to get along, the city created the RDA. My question is who is the head of the RDA right now since Mr. Givler is out? And August is right around the corner as far as when that 7 million has to be repaid. They better sell some property REAL SOON!

They should get along since they are cut from the same cloth, but they won't because they are cut from the same cloth such as greed & self centerness. They will all unfortunatly come to ruin someday.

Can someone explain to me why we would want more residential units in the city? It seems to me we have plenty of residential units around the city with middle to upperclass people. If the city wants to attract those people, perhaps they should focues on building the infastructure to support those people. Start with a resataurant, maybe a grocery store, coffee shop. Really, anything at this point would be a good idea. No residential. Focus on commercial or industry. Will help with taxes and help build infastructure.

Cabelas or bass pro shop in the flats either would employ over 200 people then attach resturants and other stores could go outlet malls. then continue out to where the new hotel will be built. and down main street it would commect a large section of the city and would boom the town to bad nobody listens.

I agree about infrastructure but it has to be the right type. Putting in a new check cashing outfit, nail salon or something geared to one culture just won't do. Really no one is going to shop or come to Coatesville as long as criminals roam the streets. Just imagine sitting in a coffee shop enjoying yourself as your parked car is being vandalized in the parking lot. Or walking to your after a nice dinner and being robbed. The streets need to be cleaned up first before adding more residential areas or businesses to the city. I would venture to say that there's not one area of Coatesville that is safe.
