We have been outspoken about our opposition. Again, you all D1 crowd assume the majority of Davenport residents are stupid. PH is a plan to make the real estate community wealthier, it is a big huge waste of our resources and time of staff. I wish we would put as much time and energy into really revitalizing the central city. Talk about a gem if we would care just an little and put energy into its improvement. Instead of handing over to the agencies that house poverty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1148062105428387712006-05-19T13:08:00.000-05:002006-05-19T13:08:00.000-05:00Does anyone remember that the planned development ...Does anyone remember that the planned development of Prairie Heights was done by a large number of people from the community that spent weeks developing a plan. All of the meetings were open to the public. The development that was presented was exactually what the people of Davenport (that actually cared enough to spend their time looking towards the future) wanted. Now the againsters jump up and complain about the development. If you can't be part of something positive why don't you move out and let those of us that want an exceptional community to live in work towards that goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1148045161083851992006-05-19T08:26:00.000-05:002006-05-19T08:26:00.000-05:00Do us a favor and find out if that is true.

Ok, nobody is...I don't understand what the rush is. Ok, nobody is interested today. Just sit on it for a while like any prudent investor would.<BR/><BR/>The reality is, the Federal Reserve is increasing interest rates to slow real estate and the spending consumer, so inflation stays in check.<BR/><BR/>If you have a great plan today, it will obviously be better tommorrow. In fact, most developers would allow the residential development to go for a few years before the commercial land is developed (which I believe is the real challange here). Potential tenants are willing to pay extra money when strong economic roof tops are two blocks north.<BR/><BR/>Calm down folks. Lets push the commercial corner to the side for a while. Lets spend all of our time on the Brady Street and Locust Street cooridors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
