[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]

Why can't they ask Federal Realty to lower the rent for Dawson's?  Or, for that matter, why can't they ask Federal Realty to lower the rent for all of the businesses at RTC?  That would go a long way, because businesses have complained about the high rents.

There is an abundance of empty retail space in Montgomery County.  Federal Realty doesn't care if it's buildings remain empty, because they'll just consider it a write off.  So, Rockville City taxpayers are paying Federal Realty to allow them to keep the rent artifically high?  That makes ZERO sense.  [/quote]

Wow, I wasn't aware that my tax money is helping Federal Realty to keep rents artificially high. What a waste of money. [/quote]

I agree.  Federal Realty owns a good amount of commercial real estate in MoCo.  They have shown themselves to be greedy and not interested in working with the citizens of the area.  They were the ones who chased Barnes and noble out of Bethesda, when residents were sad to see B&N go. [/quote]
