My husband and I retired to Pacific Grove many years ago. We were drawn to the city because it was safe, clean and provided a number of programs and services for seniors. We enjoy shopping downtown, playing tennis and strolling along the Rec Trail, but in recent years, we
have begun to see the wear and tear on our beautiful hometown. Fewer services for seniors and our city’s youth, empty storefronts and buildings in need of repair. We know our city has financial struggles, most cities do during these crazy times, but those cities are preparing for what comes next. The hotel project at the old American Tin Cannery is what’s next. The reports show revenue of over $3 million per year. That is revenue that will help fund services for people like us and people you. That is also revenue that supports our recreation department and our parks. Let’s take that old building and turn it into something that actually benefits all of us.
