[Durham INC] City Council Work Session on Duke Park Bathhouse Tomorrow, T...

John
 
That is such an important point, and I will do my best to make  it along 
with the many others.
 
There's extensive research that shows the damage a vacant house does to  
neighborhoods, especially those attempting to revitalize. Bet there's no study 
 at all of the effect of a vacant building on prime park real estate.
 
There's also plenty of data about the environmental effects of not picking  
up after your dog. Wonder if anyone has ever studied what happens when a 
large  portion of park visitors use the bushes as a restroom.

That's fine.  I'm happy to let you do all the  talking.  But one point that 
I would make is this:  Durham is  working very hard through NIS to get 
private property owners to maintain  their properties.  What kind of example 
does the City set when it  doesn't maintain its own properties?

I'm going to ask Mayor Bell to give me six minutes, but will  probably need 
only 5 and a half.
 
Less speakers might increase the odds he'll say OK.
 
Bare in mind we're not asking for the money, just the commitment.  With 
enough commitment, DPPI will begin the huge job of putting  together the plan 
that shows we are capable of accomplishing the  renovation and maintaining it 
for 20 years.
 
Much later, when everyone agrees the plan is solid, then we'll  begin 
asking for the funds.
 
Thanks greatly for your support, see you shortly,
 
eeeeeBill

If  you're around tomorrow, come to City Hall at 1PM  and support Bill 
Anderson as he makes the case for  saving the Duke Park Bathhouse with the City 
Council.  

He is  speaking on behalf of not only Duke Park  Neighorhood Association 
and Duke Park Preservation  Initiative (DPPI) but also INC!

As awesome as Bill  is, he can't do this alone. 
 
If you feel strongly  about the Bathhouse, let your voice be heard!
