Web Form: Hello, I hope people in the Mayor's Office, HAND and the Plan Commission can take the time to read this article, as a Seattlite talks Real Talk to New Yorkers about how Amazon's investment in Seattle made the city unlivable: https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-a-warning-from-seattle-20181116-story.html?utm_source=The+Evergrey&utm_campaign=744479c764-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_19_11_41&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b61d1a1dd2-744479c764-166797661&mc_cid=744479c764&mc_eid=dda1bc7491 . I lived in Seattle for 20 years from 1986-2007 (with a 2-year hiatus in NYC). When I arrived there at the end of the Boeing-Lockheed era, I thought, "Seattle is Bloomington with real money!" and when I arrived back in my hometown in 2007, after the Dot-Com Boom and Bust, I thought, "Bloomington is Seattle with common sense!" Well, I hope so. I hope so. Please read this article and tell me we have common sense in our pursuit of economic development. Thank you. -- Joy Shayne Laughter

Hello Joy, Thank you for sharing this article. I found it to be an extremely interesting read and I will share it with the rest of the Office of the Mayor staff. We often look to other communities to see what can work and what doesn't work, so I really appreciate you sharing this example. If you would like details about Bloomington economic development strategy, I would suggest contacting our Department of Economic and Sustainable Development as they oversee the day-to-day of economic development in Bloomington. They can be reached by phone at 812-349-3418.
