I attendend the press confernce yesterday at Johnson C Smith and think that Dr. Carter ( The President) did a great job of explaining why the Streetcar will be a succesful cataylist for developing the Westside Corridor. He pointed out that the main reason that JCSU agreed to start growing outside of its gates was due to the promised streetcar. He futher stated that City Councilmembers that say that the development would not equal the cost are wrong. JCSU has already spent or in the process of investing 23 million to build along the streetcar line. The school has alrready completed building the Arts Factory, in the process of building new dorms, a cafeteria and new bookstore. I plan to attend the next City Council meeting and wish that other supporters will show up to show support. I have also seen that even though Family Dollar may not be a major project, they built a brand new store on Beattis Ford and hope that maybe the Food Lion will be renovated. There is oppritunity to transform the westside with the Streetcar as the catylist, but I think people need to be informed of its benifits.
