Transforming the apartment building at Seventh and Franklin into a charming vacation home complex is a great idea. The tourist industry is the way of the future.
Mayor Beth Bliss, who also owns Bliss Vacation Stays, has openly endorsed this plan. She believes that the loss of apartments will have little effect on local workers.
Mayor Bliss has stated that it seems like the entire community will benefit from these new development opportunities. If our elected mayor is for it, who can be against it!
