"Major drugstore chains once focused mainly on growing by adding locations. Now, they're trying to squeeze more revenue out of each store by expanding and improving the services they offer and making them more competitive with the grocery chains and big retailers like Wal-Mart that have muscled into the prescription business."

Town of Chapel Hill, NC : Obey Creek Development Agreement
Who is going to read 55 pages of contract language?
Why are we doing this anyway? The developer wants to develop and the Town gets to set the rules for anything over and above current zoning. Why doesn't the Town Council simply say - if you want more freedom to develop this parcel, here are the x requirements of what you must do? Period. Give us, the voters, a chance to comment on that document before it is handed to the developer, let the Council take those comments into accounts, make any revisions and then to the developer. The developer can then take it or leave it. Why do we have to negotiate anything with the developer?

What's Up With Obey Creek?
What's up with this? I sent this.....
"I see what you did on Obey Creek. I do not see anything at
all that provides the names and background of the person or people in your
“group”, including here http://theservicedesigngroup.com/#content01
. The statement at the bottom of the Obey Creek home page is impressive but of
zero value without knowing who is saying so. I ignore anything anonymous, but
will at least send this e-mail."
