Amy: I thank you for your heartfelt comments regarding the arrival of the
Alco store in the Annandale area.
You are very correct in stating that St.Cloud and Buffalo are neighboring
communities that offer a variety of shopping opportunities for the citizens
of Annandale. It is a correct assumption that we have properly zoned
commercial areas where some of these same types of stores could be built-
allowing our citizens to shop locally.
It is not the responsibility of the city council to dictate which businesses
may or may not open in Annandale. We are not in a position to limit how many
businesses may come. Our hope is to see a diversity that will benefit all
the citizens of the greater community. Does this mean that competition for
that same dollar spent increases? Absolutely!
I appreciate the invitation for Sunday evening but regret that I will be
unable to attend.
