[edit] Grantville Redevelopment

The Grantville Settlement ought to be overturned by the new city council. Grantville is not blight. The city, county, and CCDC are scheming to transfer over $31 million from the small businesses of Grantville to beautify downtown, not coincidentally right in front of City Hall and the County Administration Building.

[edit] Historic Preservation Under Threat

Lobbyists got Mayor Sanders to push Historic Resources Board staff to change the Municipal Code to allow developers to appeal historical designations to the City Council and allow a de novo hearing and then allow the Council to overturn designations based on financial hardship or non-factual issues. As it is now, the only grounds for an appeal is the HRB relied on a factual error or substantial new information proves they were wrong. THIS IS GOING TO BE A CRISIS BECUASE EVERY DEVELOPER WILL GET AN OVERTURN. Col. Sanders wants this decided before the new Council goes into effect. We are going to lose everything if they get this damn change through the Council.
