Job Creation

I do not think the importance, or should I say economic spin-off, of job creation can be over-estimated. Lets say, for example, a development like the Malls at Route 146 had come to the Wyman Gordon Parcel. It would have not only given us jobs for people in the area, but increased the commercial tax base which in turns helps provide residential tax relief for the entire district. Keep in mind that a developer wanted to place a mixed used mall here, but was unable to get a zone change to proceed. In addition it would have also provided additional rental opportunities to landlords in the area and developers selling condos...

I believe Curtis Cab also in District 4 on Dewey Street for years, now is on Higgins Street?? Too bad companies like Curtis Cab and Woodmeister, successful companies that are growing, decide that in order to keep growing that they need to leave District 4.
