Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 19:45:57 -0400<br>Subject: [RP Town Announce] Meeting announcement - Town Council 9/7/2011 at 7:30 pm, likely Executive Session<br>The Town Council of Riverdale Park will meet on September 7, 2011, at 7:30 pm in Town Hall, 5008 Queensbury Road, Riverdale, MD, 20737.<br>
<br>"The topic to be discussed is proposed development and location of a Whole Foods market, and in particular the conditions required by the Town Council to support such commercial development.<br><br>"It is anticipated that the Town Council will meet in closed session under statutory authority D of the Maryland Open Meetings Act, "Consider a matter that concerns the proposal for a business or industrial organization to locate in Prince George's County.""<br>
<br>I'm sure it's totally legal, but it is concerning to me. The developer wants to build far more than a "Whole Foods market." I wonder whether this discussion would occur if the proposal were for Kmart or Shoppers Food Warehouse?<br>
