There is a story in the Northeast Times this week about a new and exciting development. The cooperation of our various historical societies is something that makes so much sense you have to wonder why it has not come before now. However the time seems to be right for this new opportunity to preserve and teach the history of the Northeast. Have a look at the full story.
Frankford Special Services District
There is a letter to the editor in this week’s Northeast Times opposing the re-establishment of the Frankford Neighborhood Improvement District. Councilman Savage introduced the bill and hearings have been held. The letter writer asks what is the benefit when a previous version of this idea has been tried and did not result in much improvement.
Unless this new version fits into a comprehensive plan for the future of Frankford, residents and business owners may not see the benefit. If that plan exists, it certainly has not been well publicized.
