I have a meeting on Monday with Christy Dunkle, with the Berryville Planning Department. I'm hoping to find out some info about the proposed McDonalds and strip mall, and some more about the developers and landowners. January 4th at 7pm is the Berryville Area Development Authority meeting in the Berryville Goverment Center- 2nd floor, main meeting room. PLEASE come out and sit in on this meeting to show your opposition to big business in Berryville. Let's try to fill every seat in there! Tuesday, January 10th is the public hearing on the McDonalds. PLEASE COME TO THIS MEETING IF YOU CAN- It is at 7:30pm in the same room. I will be presenting the petition and our cause to the Town Council at this hearing. Feel free to sign up to speak if you'd like when you get there, by putting your info on the sheet to the left when you come in to the meeting room. Check out the awesome article below on "The Impact of Chain Stores on Community" from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Please continue to share this petition with friends and family, we are almost to 400 signatures! That is FANTASTIC! I know we can get to 400 by my meeting on Monday morning, and 500 before January 4th.
