Warren is so anti business, it's a complete joke. People have been asking lately, with the whole school department fiasco; "Why is Warren going bankrupt?" Well, over the last decade, Warren chases out all the businesses with 9 different approval steps that take years for a massive development like Tourister, or almost a year for other smaller businesses to move in.
We have the most complex approval system imaginable. Guess where these businesses are going - they're going over to Bristol. That town is starting to thrive, especially with the waterfront development taking place. Bristol actually utilizes their commercial space and have been bringing is some great contracted businesses. What has Warren been doing with their commercial space? They've been making it hard for the businesses to want to stay, such as Fed Ex. Display World, Tourister, and the area off Market St. So much potential that isn't being used.
People have been giving this whole Tourister Deal the cold shoulder. "Oh, we don't need more residency, it'll cause too much traffic, not enough money will come into town"…. Well, if 300 apartments actually sell, and they utilize their own commercial space, this town will have a decent increase in cash flow from taxes and they will contribute that to local business. Besides, when the town goes under completely, and the state takes over, how many people complain about the traffic then? How about we bring in business, whatever it may be, and get the cash flow coming in.
Stop making things way more complicated than needed. What a complete joke Warren has become, and it's sad.
