  How many companies repair box cars?   How many resturants do know of that patrons arrive by the bus loads? i am afraid your elbows are to smooth for me, friend.  

  Kimber was one company that would have liked to come but were never invited!

  I don't care what kind of bussiness wants or wanted to come they should have been met with open arms. If they employ and pay taxes they are welcome. But we have a economic committe that screen and decide for all of us.  Wrong Wrong . Some citizens of Alexander City just raised 5000.00 + dollars to buy a seat on the economic board!  What the heck "to buy a seat" who else on that board had to buy their seat?  I have not heard of anyone. 

 Section eight housing and high disability will kill a area and it is my opinion that has happened here. 

 And while i am on my soap box go back and read about the drainage problem at the old russell complex.  The city bought land for economic development.  The private land owner wanted to improve and expand his bussiness. so he approaches the city about fixing the drainage to which they didnot want to. So bussiness man offers to buy and fix the problem hisself. city didnt want to sale well after several meetings area was graded grassed and fixed by bussiness owner.  

 My question is why is the city in the real estate bussiness? Citys should only be in the tax bussiness. Several local city have private utility companies and they are flourishing while Alec city is floundering!
