Good morning!
I’ve enjoyed reading your organizations coverage relative to the Kingstonian project.
Respectfully ask that my KLDC abbreviated bio be corrected in that I’m not connected in any way with the real estate business.
Retired Kingston businessman and native Kingstonian! Have been a KLDC Board Member for the past 27 yrs. and was appointed by Mayor T. R. Gallo.
Respectfully,
Glenn R. Fitzgerald
Absolutely. We’ll adjust that and make a clarification. Thanks for letting us know, and apologies.
Good morning,
I just read the article about a Jazz Singer Fights Niagara Bottling. I live in a small town (about 4,900 population) of Elko New Market, Minnesota. The city is entertaining the idea of inviting Niagara Bottling Plant to make their home in the community.
I am fearful how this will impact my community, environment, and our way of living. Our community received a GreenStep Award for our leadership in sustainability, energy efficiency, and resource conservation. Somehow our new leadership has forgotten this too.
I have some hope that after discovering other communities standing up and voicing their concerns that the bottling plant moved on. I hope this will encourage others to do the same. Thank you for inspiring the article.
Warm regards,
Molly Wichner
