Bedford City Council to take eminent domain steps against Meadowbrook Plaza.

At the Bedford City Council Meeting on Monday November 7, 2005 the Bedford City Council will pass a resolution to further the public purpose of economic development at the underperforming Meadowbrook Plaza.
 
I have been a consistent critic on the conditions at Meadowbrook Plaza.  An excellent opportunity for the City to gain new city revenue, and improve the appearance of the area is the re-development of Meadowbrook.
 
Monday night we will take the first step in making this re-development happen.
 
If you would like to attend the Council meeting, the session begins at 8:00 PM at City Hall.  There will be an opportunity for public comment at the meeting.
