[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$2 million to help shore up Dawsons.  Wow.  That could have been used for the schools and made a huge impact.  Instead, they shore up Dawson’s for 5 years and then it closes anyway (most likely).[/quote]

How is the City giving Dawson's $2 million? They are funding $2 million over 5 years in the form of grants and loans to Town Center businesses. Dawson's has applied for funds and I am sure they will get some, but they are certainly not getting the entire $2 million. [/quote]

Are you sure Dawson’s is not getting the full $million?

It says that Dawsons’ is getting $2 million over the next five years through REDI.  It does not say anything about other businessesz

I agree with the poster who comments that they need to do something about the parking and about homelessness in that area.  And, definitely address safety.  There have been quite a few incidents in that area.  [/quote]

Some anonymous guy in the comments section of the Bethesda Beat said Dawson's is getting 2 million. Doesn't mean that's correct. Here's the link to an article with accurate info about the funds.

This comment is spot on:

‘The article should have simply read:
"Rockville officials approved $430,000 in taxpayer generated funding to give to Federal Realty Investment Trust by passing it through the retail tenants of taxpayer subsidized Rockville Town Square."’

This is EXACTLY what is happening.  Ridiculous.  [/quote]
