Well, well...what happened to the big partnership between Mr Robinette and Mr Coon? What about the money that was given to them for the Rose Furniture building? Yes sir, everything in downtown Middletown is just ducky. |

Vivian, wasn't that amount of money about $350,000 or so? Quite a chunk of change and certainly worthy of being accounted for. So, where did the city taxpayer money loan go Mr. Robinette? Anyone in the city building want to take a stab at it? How about you Adkins. ------------- I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over. |

Vet The amount was $300,000 for the repair Ewing building, which is now up for sale, and the Rose Furniture building which is nothing more than a pile of rubble....mercy 5/3 Bank gave the Goetz Tower to Mr. Robinette and all the work that has been completed has been done with grant money. |

What am I missing? What has been accomplished on his Middletown projects? Is our Rose building $$ funding his Hamilton endeavors? |

Here's my take-aways from the article. Number One, it is clear both Hamilton and Middletown have identical plans for urban revitalization. In fact, its the same strategy for both. Use a group to buy old properties, then a middle-man to hold them, and then sell them to someone to re-store them, to bring in either business, residents, or both. Number Two, while Hamilton has successfully been able to take a few of these buildings for commercial use, and then pull in new business which has been primarily telemarketing and the P & G subsidiary, there remains a great amount of buildings left standing with few being bought, leased, or used. No one can fault either city for working to kick-start their economy and community, but it stands to reason there just isn't enough population growth in either Hamilton and Middletown, to make both, or even one, a success. Of the two, Hamilton is doing better, but lots of excess capacity sitting idle, waiting to be used. Maybe the real story is Middletown is putting a lot of faith or creating a feeling of progress when its trying to keep up with Hamilton, and many of the projects supposedly in process, are not really moving forward, but in a holding pattern. Mr. Coon just can't have so many projects and investments to be made, when the return and need looks to be less than either expected or communicated. And, while Hamilton has CORE, it looks as if Middletown has relied on the city of Middletown to buy property to be given away. |

| If the Dougmeister and the Fuchmeister could lose up to $75,000 for each NSP-funded purchase/rehab/resale housing boondoggle of a few years back, why would they worry about squandered "former downtown" gambits? When I read the baseless kudos given to Dougie by persons on this forum, it reminds me of the insanity and humor of Marx Brothers movies from the 1930's. Ignorance is certainly bliss for some of you. |
