I think this is a great idea
I think this is a great idea and long overdue. I have been talking about soemthing like this for a while and I am pleased to see that action is being taken.
We have to look out for the the people who already have set up shop here and make a point of supporting the small business that make up the fabric of New Rochelle.
My family and I try our best to buy what we can in this city and we are pleased to see a concerted effort being proposed.
I am trying to arrange for the Councilmen spearheading this effort to appear on the radio program New Rochelle News & Views Thursday Nights at 8pm on WVOX 1460 AM or wvox.com on the internet to further discuss their proposal.
