Visconsi has just
threatened to press charges if she doesn't come down by 4pm
today (8/18) - she plans on staying indefinitely. VIGIL AT 5PM-8PM TODAY (Monday 8/18) look
for red banner on left road down PROBuild's drive way past their
green and white sign at 10060 High School Dr, across the street
(NORTH) of McDonalds enterance. "The tree sit
is an effort designed to create more time for the community of
Bainbridge to
move into action and voice their opposition to this unsustainable
development.
There will be an ongoing presence at the site as well as a letter
writing
campaign and sign ons for boycotting the mall. I am hoping this sit
leads to
expanded dialog about what we want this Island to look like in our
future." A
formal boycott has been initiated and is growing in size as
residents express
their intention to never do business in the new shopping center. According to Kent
Bridwell, Lead boycott organizer "A new
shopping center
is wholly unnecessary on Bainbridge. Too many local businesses have
already failed and there are vacant storefronts everywhere. This
includes
the former Union Bank building, which remains available for lease or
purchase."
"The 'expedited approval and development' that Visconsi, an Ohio based
developer, brags about on there website, seems to be manifesting
itself onto
the Island. Bainbridge has the
potential to serve as a healthy watershed, helping to preserve the
Puget Sound.
For the well being of the Sound,
and future generations, we need to turn the tide on the status quo by
bringing
a halt to this unwanted and unneeded development," says Chiara.
