Glad to get a newsletter going! Thanks to all for your efforts. I just found out PDC purchased (all or part?) of former car lot that was metro auto at 72nd and Foster! I am trying to contact them to find out what their plans are and to see if community has any say on what happens to that space. Park? Garden? Fountain? Hopefully not a parking lot and more empty buildings.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...so glad PDC in involved in the property. I will inquire with PDC about their plans as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking into that!
Any updates on what PDC is doing with this property?

I'm a bit too busy too dive into this right now.
However, I know Kevin Cronin (at PDC) is a great contact. He's always very helpful with explaining PDC's projects and plans.
You may want to contact him with questions/ideas/inquiries!
Thanks!
