BERLIN– A proposal from a developer interested in Heron Park will not be added to the town council’s agenda.
In a straw poll this week, the council indicated 3-2 that they did not want to grant a local developer’s request to have his proposed Heron Park contract added to a future meeting agenda. The decision comes about two months after the council opted not to continue negotiations with developer Palmer Gillis.
“I think we should decide what we want do with the property before we entertain selling any of it,” Councilman Jack Orris said.
At the close of Monday’s meeting, Mayor Zack Tyndall told the council a local developer had asked to be placed on the agenda to present a contract for the acquisition of Heron Park. While no name was mentioned, developer Jack Burbage approached the council when negotiations were still ongoing with Gillis to share a vision for a mixed use project at Heron Park.
Keep gillis out of Berlin
Unlike Salisbury, it appears Palmer Gillis has failed to kiss the right asses.
