To retire…no need for a job, very little traffic, low property tax, grocery store nearby, short ride on a back road to Atmore , movie, Brewton, over the line cheap AL gas…Odom’s bar package store, nail salon…walking park Flomaton….shhhh, don’t tell any one…let the street roll up at night…the street lights are still on…Bondurant Hardware, few good eating places…and so forth…

I think there should be some regular citizens on this committee too. Citizens who represent a variety of backgrounds like small business owners from retail to manufacturing or teachers, etc.

I’m not knocking the efforts of our city council, they have the best of intentions and are dedicated to our town. But we need new ideas and insights.

“It is a good place to retire.” For real? Compared to what, North Korea?

Managed properly the area within the CRA can be the “New Century.”

Thank you to the town council for taking on this additional responsibility to manage it.

Renovated older homes with character and history can attract buyers to the rural area. it is a good place to retire.

The Century signs at each end of town need to be looked at up close and at least repainted. People from all over stand there and take pictures. It advertises the Town.

Even if the Beautification Gateway project for the Retention Pond was not elected for Triumph funds, I think it should still be considered and/or modified.

Wonder if any of the council members own rental property in the blighted area?If so then that seems like a conflict of interest to me!! Just saying?

>>>Excuse my ignorance but wouldn’t there be a conflict of interest if the council members are also the members of the CRA?

State law provides that the governing body can sit as the CRA board.
