People will drive downtown to shop, eat and go to the theater. Business investment will grow. Another center of excellence will have been created. The City Council has made some difficult decisions in its relatively short history. But nothing could be more important to this valley's wonderful and rich history than the resolution to proceed with the revitalization of downtown Newhall.
History records moments of significant change.
Rebuilding the corridor through Old Newhall will be this City Council's crowning achievement. And to get the process going, I hope they will choose a redevelopment option that will not be challenged in court and that is primarily focused on downtown Newhall. I suspect the City Council chambers will be packed Tuesday night. The press will be there in force. It ought to be great theater.
