[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what business in their right mind would move here, given what's going on in MCPS right now? And with the horrendous traffic? And oh, by the way, they are building more homes/apartments/condos/townhomes, so there will be more kids in overcrowded or needy schools and more traffic on the congested roadways.  Until these 2 items are fixed (infrastructure), no big business will be moving to Montgomery County.[/quote]

Geez, businesses are not going to pause over overcrowded schools. MOCO is actually known for its good schools. The biggest business killer is the ridiculously strict regulations that we have. Who is going to be better for business?[/quote]

Floreen will be better for business.[/quote]

If you want a better school district, you need educated people to move into the county, and  educated people won't move to a county that doesn't have lots of high paying jobs.  More and more people are choosing to live closer to work and sacrifice house/lot size.  That means MoCo needs more high paying jobs, not low paying service jobs typically created by small business owners.[/quote]

I agree with this. Small businesses should be supported and encouraged, but we also need larger, established companies with stable workforces. I know a bunch of "tech" people, computer scientists, etc., and they all work in VA, because that's where all the tech firms are. These are the types of high-paying, stable jobs that we need more of in MoCo. [/quote]

I agree with this too and I think a majority of residents agree.  The question is WHO will work for this?  [/quote]
