Dear Editor:
I grew up in the Edgemont Village area in the late ’50s- ’60s when the Village was small and had the Totem five-and-dime store, the Danish bakery, Dairy Queen, two gas stations, two supermarkets (Stongs and SuperValu) and a lumber store, amongst other smaller-type shops. I haven’t been back to the Village since the late ’90s, and times do change and I understand housing is extremely tough to find and very expensive.
Many empty buildings are eyesores to the public and if someone is willing to invest in a new project that will benefit many residents, so be it. Yes, increased traffic will happen, but this is happening everywhere.
Hopefully if (any new) project is approved, it is tasteful and will blend well into the community.
