I was reading the November 2009 edition of the SouthWest Citizens Advisory Council  newsletter [PDF] and thought I’d share an agenda item that I think is very important.  It’s a chance for you to provide input into what types of shopping and services you would like at future commercial space on Tryon Road, near Renaissance Park.
