Subject: Urgent Appeal to Preserve Dragon Buffet and Address Unchecked Development in Medina, Ohio

​Dear Congressman Miller,

​I am writing to you as a concerned constituent of the 7th Congressional District regarding a critical local issue in Medina, Ohio, that threatens a beloved community landmark: the proposed demolition of Dragon Buffet to make way for a Meijer gas station.

​For nearly three decades, Dragon Buffet has been a deeply cherished and family-owned staple in our community. It is more than just a restaurant; it has served as a central gathering place for countless family parties, sports team celebrations, and holiday events. Losing Dragon Buffet would mean losing a significant piece of Medina’s social history and a key element of its unique character.

​This proposed development is particularly troubling because it follows a pattern of corporate growth that is eroding the very essence of what makes Medina special. We are witnessing the gradual loss of our treasured family-owned businesses and our precious forested areas to generic corporate structures. I and many other residents fear that the unchecked pursuit of development is diminishing the beauty, charm, and local heritage that we value so highly.

​I am appealing to you for your direct assistance in this matter. We believe there are viable alternative locations in Medina for the proposed Meijer gas station that would not necessitate the destruction of Dragon Buffet. Your influence and ability to convene stakeholders would be instrumental in encouraging the developers, Meijer, and local city officials to reconsider the current site plan and actively seek an alternative location.

​We need strong leadership to champion the preservation of our independent businesses and our local environment. By stepping in to help save Dragon Buffet, you would be sending a powerful message that the voice of the community and the preservation of our local heritage matter more than convenience for corporate development.

​Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to the constituents of the 7th District. I urge you to look into this situation and use your office to help preserve a piece of Medina’s heart.

​Sincerely,

[Your name here]
