Chain Store Complex Defeated In Petoskey
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/chain-store-complex-defeated-petoskey/The last issue of this Bulletin reported on a grassroots effort in Petoskey, Michigan to stop a 400,000 square foot chain retail development in a neighboring township.
In April, to the thunderous applause of a packed town hall, the Bear Creek Township Board voted 3-2 to deny the developer’s request to rezone the land from residential and farm-forest to commercial, effectively nixing the big box project.
