Mr. Ron Hooper, 39 King Street West, Bowmanville, LIC lR2, addressed
Council in opposition to Item #3 of Report #1 (Stsff Report PD-60-93).
Mr. Hooper indicated that he has a large investment in the downtown as he
owns a business and the land on which it is situated. He is concerned with the
effect that the development of a mall at the west end of Bowmanville will have
on the downtown business area Presently, there is greater than 25,000 square
feet of retail space in the downtown core which is vacant. Mr. Hooper stated
that he would be in favour of the development of the mall if the immediate
population could support it.
Ms. Laurie Allin, 137 Queen Street, Bowmanville, LIC IM7, addressed Council
with respect to Item #3 of Report #1 (Stsff Report PD-60-93). As a merchant
in the Business Improvement Area, Ms. Allen is concerned with the impact
that the development of a mall in the west end of Bowmanville will have. She
indicated that the mall should be phased in as the population increases and
indicated that she would, in fact, welcome a mall when the population of the
Town could support it. It is her opinion that upon termination of their lease,
tenants in the downtown core may wish to re-Iocate to the mall, thereby
leaving more vacant stores in the downtown area
