It’s a lost cause, stores are closing and going belly up so fast that I’m losing count. Concord’s heyday is long gone, just look at how many half dead strip malls are in Concord. And why would a business want to open up shop only to have a bunch of homeless, and illegals loitering around? One way Concord can be salvaged is to make the town business friendly, and they can start by prosecuting thieves, and sentence them to prison. Then they can clean up the homeless mess, and lighten up on the stringent regulations, and requirements in order to establish a business in Concord, then cut business taxes.
Park n Shop is a run down dump and could use economic development.
I still won’t go there.
Shopping center where Staples is at Treat & Clayton Rd, re-do Park n’ Shop (R99 is ok, the rest is a mish-mash), K-Mart of course, shopping center where TJ Maxx is on Clayton Rd, shopping center where Subway is on Clayton Rd at Bailey, and the shopping center where Big 5 is on Clayton Rd closer to downtown.
What Dawg said!!
Fix the roads!! Clean up encampments. Increase Police presence on the roads. Vote out all incumbents, including the DA. Making Concord safe again might bring in new businesses.
Taking care of existing before expansion….. just a thought
The Monument Bl. corridor needs architectural & design standards.
It m looks dirty and is a visual cacophony.
The working tax paying middle class. They pay for it, so they should get it.
