[RP TownTalk] if you support mixed use development of Cafritzproperty...

[Sonia Dasgupta]

Hi everyone-

I asked Whole Foods a few questions about the lease with the Cafritz
property development and here are there responses - hope it clears things
up. http://patch.com/A-lgRQ

Also, if you have any other questions about the development that you'd like
answered, please shoot me an e-mail at sonia at patch.com. I hope to continue
to cover this story as it develops.

Thanks,
Sonia
