[RP TownTalk] Jey's Convenience Store

[James D. Holmes]

I think this would be a great location for a convenience store.  It 
would be within walking distance to thousands of new residence of 
Riverdale Park and Hyattsville City.  We should encourage small neighbor 
business.  Just look at Dumm's corner market.  It's a great place.  Why 
shouldn't we give Jey a chance.  What is the real motive behind the Town 
of Riverdale Park and the City of Hyattsville going against Jey.  I 
think there is a personal agenda by our Mayor and Council.  Just look at 
the statement that our Mayor made March 3, 2013 on the Town Blog.


"The gateway to Riverdale Park needs to say YOU ARE SOMEWHERE! We the 
residents of this town deserve better and I for one will not again grant 
Jey another chance. We shall take this property, give the owner fair 
market compensation, and make this entry point to our town into a pocket 
park with noteworthy public art or find a developer who will give us a 
signature building that will say loud and clear"


A convenience store on the corner of Route 1 and Madison Street would be 
a WIN - WIN for the community.
