Editor: On May 31, I proposed the Coulter Berry Building for the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue in Fort 91原创. It is a three-storey building, with retail, offices, residences, and extensive underground parking.

I invested in Fort 91原创 because I love Fort 91原创. I grew up in 91原创, went to school here, and live here. I plan to raise a family here. I am committed to Fort 91原创 for the long-term.

I love Fort 91原创鈥檚 unique community, charm, and history. Unlike the rest of the Township, Fort 91原创 has the potential to become a rarely possible, near-perfect balance of living, working, shopping, and recreation in a truly walkable environment, while maintaining a village atmosphere.

I want to build buildings that 91原创 will be proud of. I want to build buildings that will make it easier for merchants to thrive, visitors to admire and enjoy, and will provide local residents with better options for eating and shopping than we would otherwise have here.

Fort 91原创 is going to continue to grow whether people want it to, or not. Growth is inevitable. We should focus on the character and quality of that growth to ensure it is high quality, sustainable, and meets the needs of the community as a whole.

We must not give in to a select few who spread misinformation, want to prevent competition and keep Fort 91原创 for themselves, or see Fort 91原创 as a museum.

Based on my ongoing consultation with the community, I sincerely believe that the silent majority shares this vision for Fort 91原创. I hope that we can all work together to continue improving Fort 91原创 for generations to come.
