RG4N Op-Ed in Today's Paper

Posted Wed, 01/31/2007 - 12:24pm

Today's Austin American-Statesman is running an op-ed commentary (login required, limited time availability) by Hope Morrison, vice-president of RG4N.

In it, Hope previews some of the information that will be presented at the big community meeting tonight.

Our concerns go well beyond Wal-Mart. No Supercenter-sized retailer is welcome at Northcross. RG4N envisions Northcross as a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use village center, consistent with the city's New Urbanist direction for redevelopment. We want a redevelopment that meets neighborhood needs, with affordable grocery and retail and minimal traffic congestion. We want meaningful input on the Northcross plan.

Hope will be leading the community meeting tonight.

We don't know if she'll be signing autographs.
