Subject: bigbox moratorium

I think the ordinance for the moratorium state the exact point for continuing the ordinance. We have invested too much time, $ and manpower into making Easton the 8th Best Small Town. We need to continue to attempt to promote our downtown and not undermine these efforts with strip malls. This past Saturday or neighbor St. Michael's was bustling with people all afternoon. The downtown of Easton was empty in comparison. Please continue to vote against any more "bigbox" businesses. and Yes I fully understand the commercial and tax issues this presents.
