We need a regional mall, not an auto mall

I’ve been reading your stories on the proposed auto mall. Thank you for your news.

Could you interview Westcor and find out why, when absolutely everyone who lives up here desperately wants a regional retail mall with restaurants, they want an auto mall?

When you have a built‑in clientele who begs for places to shop and eat, which we do daily, why do they not want to provide it? Doesn’t that make as much money as an auto mall?

People buy a car maybe once every 3‑5 years. However, they eat out and shop for retail goods daily.

We need a regional Westcor mall, not an auto mall ... Please ask them why they won’t build what we need.

Thanks so much for all your hard work.
