Good suggestion about the Ames Plaza

This was a suggestion a friend of mine sent me after reading your letter. Dave

Hey, seems like the people in Alden are really organized. I wish you guys luck in keeping Alden a small town. Have you suggested that all the people form a co-op to try to buy the Ames plaza? Every one could have a share in owning and thereby reaping the benefits of income from the plaza and/or tax write offs. Dave L.


Response from Alden RRG:
HI Dave
Thanks for your message. It's a great idea from your friend, and it sounds like it could be a great solution to this problem. But you can tell him that not only have potential renters been turned away with exhorbitant rental rates and/or terms and conditions, but a potential buyer recently also faced the same situation when he made an offer.

But keep working on this. Our organization is still gathering names, and information and also hope to be reaching Redstone directly soon. Maybe their tune will change when they see how negatively they are impacting our community and actually might care about us.

Keep sharing our situation with others. Somebody out there might be able to help us. His idea is a terrific one. Thanks for letting us post this on our web-log

Kindest regards,
Alden RRG
