I am requesting the following:
1. That Corinne Owen’s name be removed from any development project proposed for the State Street corridor and that any proposed project stand on its own merits. Perhaps this will take some of the emotion out of the equation and allow for all involved to evaluate the proposals based on sound business projections. This would not prevent a developer from honoring Ms. Owens after a project was completed.
2. That a commission be established as soon as possible for the purpose of identifying a park, plaza, building or other suitable venue to recognize and honor Ms. Owens for her contributions to the civil rights movement and this community. I would be willing to either chair this commission | Referred | |
