Remember the Village of Lyons has one of the highest tax rates in the country. So village board lets step up start cutting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060278883118319195.post-89576641666919838772011-02-27T13:23:48.813-05:002011-02-27T13:23:48.813-05:00There is no one single answer to our local economy...There is no one single answer to our local economy and no one is intimating that the Canal is the only answer - it is one tool that we have at our disposal. Support and promotion of our local businesses by our own residents would go a long way in assisting businesses. I would ask you to remember that we have other businesses in Lyons besides our restaurants and all of them need your continued support. The LMSP is more than willing to speak with any business owner to assist them in whatever way we can as well as to list them absolutely free on our website to help drive new business to them. There are many reasons a business fails but it is a shame that any of them fail because their own neighbors didn't support or frequent them.Jerry Ashley, Lyons Main Street Program Managerhttp://www.lyonsmainstreetprogram.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060278883118319195.post-46571765055777765702011-02-27T12:33:10.455-05:002011-02-27T12:33:10.455-05:00Schools are the only way to build business and com...Schools are the only way to build business and communities. I say this as we sell our house and move to Webster for better schools as education is the future for high paying jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060278883118319195.post-38702388946020779312011-02-27T11:06:50.224-05:002011-02-27T11:06:50.224-05:00Maybe more business owners didn't show becaus...Maybe more business owners didn't show because they don't see the canal as the answer to their problems, which I would agree with. The Canal didn't help Trombino's, Bridge Tavern, McGory's, Diner next to Pete's garage (forgot the name), Dada's and others. Maybe instead of them listening to the canal experts we need to be listening to the business owners(or ex-owners)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
