Canterbury Tales?
So I see in the FNP that a new owner has taken over the plans for developing the land that now houses the Banner School/Odd Fellows land at the corner of N. East Street and Market Street.
Obviously this is a very desirable piece of property in Frederick, but I have to question the intentions of the new owner. To keep it as is planned is a huge mistake. The roads are not equipped for 500 new houses and don’t get me started about the schools.
The new owner of the property is a well known developer in Frederick, but let me tell you, if he runs the new development like he ran the Sportsplex (which had the potential to be a real gem in this city) then I’d question his motives. Because he has no intention of changing the original plans for that development, which could potentially benefit the area if they scaled down a bit, while working within the infrastucture of the city, nope, he wants to keep the original plans of 500 homes (plus a dog run…yippee!! sarcasm ) , and, quite frankly that area can’t handle that kind of development.
Ack!! I’ve been meaning for years to get up to the Odd Fellows home to get a photo of the neon sign. Guess I’d better hop to it, before it’s overrun, ruined, kaput…
And here I was hoping to be able to retire there.
Ack. I hope they don’t tear down those cool old buildings.
500 homes? What!?!? The homes in our neighborhood aren’t selling and the new homes aren’t being built. Unless these homes are going to sell for about $150K who will buy them?
I agree with you both, fill the homes that are already built first. It would be real cool if they remodeled the exisitng buildings into condos or some other type of homes.
This is by my hood the road cant suppost another 500 families.
I say we picket “NO NEW HOMES!
NO NEW HOMES! NO NEW HOMES!
