[RP TownTalk] Cafritz Vote

[Jonathan W. Ebbeler]

Friends/Neighbors -

 

For those that have not heard, the District Council voted yesterday 7-2 in
support of the Cafritz rezoning.  

 

This is a game changer for the Town of Riverdale Park and it is up to each
of us to ensure that the developer's feet are held to the fire and that they
impact our community in positive ways.  Yesterday's vote was one step in a
very long process that will require our town to work with our neighboring
municipalities to enforce the conditions that were negotiated with the land.
Regardless of what side of the question each of you were on, we need
everyone to stay focused and engaged on this project.

 

We now have a unique opportunity to get movement from Douglas Development on
the direction they want to go with our Town Center as well as spur
additional economic development on our section of the Route 1 Corridor.
This, and other situations like Jey's Auto will be part of the discussion to
be had at this month's Economic Development Committee meeting.  As always,
if anyone has any questions please reach out to me directly.
