1) Why are people that live in Bay Creek serving on the HDRB? Those of us who live in the Historic District are not allowed to say how things should be done in Bay Creek. Would any Bay Creek resident like us to approve building an apartment building next door to their house? The members of the HDRB should ALL live in the Historic District — period.

2) Why is the HDRB being pushed by our town planner to approve Mr. McCormack’s request? We already handed him the building on a silver platter trimmed with gold. We “sold” him the building for a lousy $10, threw in $41,000 in insurance money, cut the hookup fees by 3/4 for the “supposed” 1-bedroom apartments (and by the way NOW we find out there will be a “family unit” which will certainly be more than 1 bedroom). Haven’t we done enough for the developer? The property was worth over $900,000! This little deal has smacked of collusion from the beginning. I am so sorry that our town ever crawled in bed with this developer. There isn’t another town on the Eastern Shore stupid enough to get into this deal.

And don’t let them fool you with their little dog and pony show when they state they “just love to bring these historic buildings back to their glory.” These developers live off of Federal & State tax credit money. They are not in it for any reason other than easy money.
