Important meeting about the new downtown hotel – Monday at 7 p.m.

Posted on by Ed Collard

The effort to bring positive change in Gloucester is gaining momentum. In one week, nearly 500 people have signed the petition in favor of rezoning to allow a downtown hotel. (If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do so here.) Letters to the editor have been running every day from people who support the hotel and the jobs and economic growth it will bring to Gloucester.

But all our efforts will fall short if we don’t have strong attendance at Monday night’s important public meeting. Let’s not let a small group of opponents give the impression that they speak for all of Gloucester. City councilors and Planning Board members need to see that we who love Gloucester and want it to move forward are the majority. You won’t be asked to speak. By showing up, you will be showing your support.

Please attend the meeting this Monday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

We encourage you to arrive early. We need your support!

Thank you,

Petition to support the new hotel is taking off: Over 300 signatures and counting!

Posted on by Ed Collard

Our group is growing at lightning speed!  Only 3 days ago, Citizens for Positive Change in Gloucester created a petition to support a new hotel on Pavilion Beach, near where a hotel stood for 65 years. (Click here to see that hotel). Our petition has touched a nerve, with over 100 people a day signing up to support the hotel and help Gloucester’s economy grow. Click here to sign our petition and see over 300 people who’ve already signed it.

Gloucester needs to move forward, not backward, and create jobs and a healthy economy that will give our young people a reason to stay and visitors a reason to come here. The hotel will create over 100 new full-time jobs, attract visitors whose spending will strengthen our downtown businesses, and generate revenue for the City from Meals, Rooms, and Property Taxes.  Let’s take the tax burden off the homeowner!

It’s time to say “Enough is enough” to those who’ve held Gloucester back. The tide is turning. Positive change is coming to Gloucester!
