Attention:
Dear Mayor Oscar B. Goodman:
Subject: Commercial Center Business Association and The International Art Garden
To tell you what I do, I have created a package of membership benefits for business owners to get needed and desired services they would generally receive from a large shopping center management company, like sidewalk cleaning, parking lot maintenance, security guards, public image with advertising, website, etc. Along with an attractive welcome packet for their Business for being a part of the Association.
We have had concerns over here; I read the 40-page blight study by Lesa Coder, Redevelopment and found many points to be inaccurate. I am concerned with Eminent Domain, for our Historic Shopping Center, as we are naming it, Las Vegas First Shopping Center, now over 200 business's strong a thriving international marketplace, the Hub of Urban Life, there truly is no place like it, with many one of a kind business's so close to the strip.
We need your help, as we are moving forward with our plans to install Artificial grass in our 15 medians in the Lot, and Create and Install our International Art Gardens over our 28 acres which will feature images from over 15 countries and diversities, including an international theme, and a Las Vegas History Theme, and a rotating theme, we are planning to open Art Galleries to show off the work of the Artists who will be involved and we desire to be connected with the Arts Community to Bring more Art and Culture for Free to The Public in our 1000 space Parking Lot,
We are not waiting for approval from the County due to their lack of care of the Commercial Center for so many years, they added to the problem of Graffiti, trash, and crime by not being responsible, although this was failed to be mentioned in their thorough report.
I am just a small business owner who represents over 200 business owner here, and we are not letting the County Come in here and give us a Raw Deal, I read the relocation standards and the Business Owners will suffer if we had to be relocated, The County Just wanted to let the land go, drive the Price Down and offer below Market Value.
I have done my research, I am shocked to see what has happened, I don’t have a hidden agenda as some folks in the County May have, I Know you are in the City, But we need your Help, I was told last year not to Go to you, By Danny Giraldo instead to use my Local Commissioner then Myrna W. Now Chris G, I have requested meetings fallen on deaf ears, I am getting ready to contact the Media, and talk about Eminent Domain and our Historic Shopping Center and what we are doing here.
We have had to clean public land, provide our own security, AND PERFORM MAINTINANCE ON IT AS WELL, AS MOST OF OUR REQUESTS HAVE NOT BEEN MET IN A TIMELY FASHION, THE RELATIOSHIP WITH THE COUNTY HAS BEEN POOR IN THE PAST, I am trying to change that, and have asked for their cooperation.
I have all our meeting minutes and agendas that were made public and online. I have kept the County Well Informed, Certain Departments seem against us improving the Area, but we will continue, and the Public Needs to know what’s going on here, these over 300 Business at Commercial Center are getting organized in a Big Way, I would say we represent an international business district like no other in the County.
I am requesting a meeting with you, I want to share with you are plans for the Art Gardens and how we can work with the City to bring Art and Culture together between the Two, and how we are setting a trend for Urban Development for our Great City/County of Las Vegas, and we are getting it done FREE. Saving taxpayers and the County Millions, We have taken over Management of the Shopping Center and people like what were doing, because of our efforts we have removed 100% of Graffiti over the past 4 months, we have lowered Crime in the Area and provided a safer shopping and dining destination, we have cleaned and maintained the Public Parking Lot, with only minimal help form the County, I feel some of the Folks Have Been so Nice Like Danny G, Russell D., Sgt Tom Stoll, but recently since I told them we are going public they seemed to have withdrawn their support, its all to secretive for us, we have millions invested in this Area, just in the Past Few Years as a group of Business and Property Owners we have invested Well over 10 million in Redevelopment, that’s no small feat for the Small Business Owner.
Through Donations and Contributions we are making a lasting place of Beauty for locals and tourist, I will be happy to share with you all we have done so far. I am asking for help on Behalf of the Over 200 Business Owners and property Owners At Commercial Center, Please Advise, Please Help...
Sincerely,
Paula Sadler
President & Founder
Commercial Center Business Association
