COMMENTS <br /> "It would be nice if people weren't so negative about business in Pequot."(a new <br /> business owner) <br /> Industry is needed in P.L.to have it survive. <br /> Keep highway through town <br /> Keep highway where it is—I don't want my property values to drop. <br /> Promote highway through town. <br /> Concerned about by-pass: Looking for city on how they intend to develop the town <br /> People will have to take a left to get into town off the hwy. <br /> What is the transition piece from the city? <br /> What is the city&the EDC going to do to help businesses? <br /> The highway needs to go around town(from a person located on 371) <br /> Safety issue—by-pass is good(from a person on 371) Retailers need to cater to the area. <br /> We are not terribly concerned about direction of the highway, in fact,we wanted it to <br /> bypass (also on 371). Generally economic downturns don't bother us as much as others. <br /> We're on the west side of the highway, so please look for us. <br /> Where is road going? TDS put 20 million into infrastructure to bring technology to rural <br /> area. Technology can make the geographical area irrelevant. Cover 800 sq. miles of <br /> territory 85%have DSL available. $15,000 a mile for laying fiber. DSL, SDI"If need is <br /> there, we will deliver." <br /> We're very happy in P.L. <br /> Very pleased to date with business climate in Pequot(comment volunteered, not asked). <br /> Commented that Dawn has been helpful and stated that Chuck M.has been responsive& <br /> helpful. <br /> Businesses should follow the times they have set—not close early because business is <br /> slow. <br /> We are not part of the Pequot Chamber—we belong to Nisswa because they offer us <br /> much more. <br /> The Chamber should promote the town—not just their members. <br />
