I don’t like to post Fox articles but the other post from the developer had a fundraising link in it.

This is the shopping center where the mass shooting occurred last month, one student was killed.

I tried to post the developer’s proposed new plans but the post was denied. The developer is plans to focus on black owned businesses only, they will receive &9 million from the city and hope to receive more from a crowdfunding effort.

I went to a community meeting where they presented the plans, talked about addressing the violence problem in the current shopping center. That area has been violent for years, I have faith this new investment will be an improvement.

And I typically don't like to read them because it just turns into a where's waldo of spot the lie, distortion, or misleading information. But this article seems like it's actually okay for the most part. Hope the sale goes through and redevelopment goes well and it helps.

Unfortunately the moderators wouldn’t approve the other version of my post because it had a link to the developer’s crowdfunding effort. Fox was the only news station who covered the efforts, I don’t think my notes from the meeting would be good posting material. The information in the Fox article is the same information shared with the community by the councilman and the mayor’s office.

This article also has the Small Change link embedded.

Well, don’t report it the moderators, maybe they won’t delete this post. Even if they do delete at least it stayed up for a few hours.

I am actually glad it was there. The pitch being made is much clearer without the focus on the property's list of issues.

The real deal is HERE
