Below is an email I received from Dan Jones, the developer of the Gateway project. While it was not asked of me to forward this, I believe it is important for everyone to understand the level of commitment Mr. Jones has for the project and for Morrisville.
Call your council member and let them know you want the Gateway project to continue.
Ladies and gentlemen –
Monday evening, May 19, 2008, 7:30 PM will be a pivotal and historic moment for the Borough of Morrisville. Don’t miss it.
After two years, the Borough Council will vote “yes or no” on the Gateway Center. I truly believe that a “yes” vote will mean a historic turning point for the Borough. But it will only happen if those who support the project are at the meeting.
Attend Monday night’s meeting. If you feel comfortable speaking at the public comment, do so and make a difference. If you do not feel comfortable speaking, cheer on those that do, and make a difference.
For the first time in two years the goal line is in sight. Be a part of this historic moment. In five years when you look at a wonderfully transformed Bridge Street, be able to smile and say,” I was there and I made a difference.”
Thanks to all for their continued support of the Morrisville Gateway Center.

And another letter I received
Tonight at Boro Hall, council will be voting to show their interest (or lack of) in continuing to move forward with the Gateway project. Please come out and support this project and consider speaking at the mic. As many of us are busy with our daily lives, if you can't make the meeting, please call your ward officials and the ones outside of your ward too.
This will be the night when the naysayers will be strong. Don't let them outvoice us and allow them to force us to be silent once more. If you have never spoken before, now is especially your time to speak up. The more different faces and voices we have only show the support is larger than the usual suspects (on both sides of the fence).
Meeting starts at 7:30. Interviews for the Economic Development Council begin at 7:00.

Call my council member what? A jerk? Blind? A high Public Official? There are just so many choices.
And just like that it's over. Voted down: 2 Yea (Bolos, Sherlock), 6 Nay (Rivella, Ledger, Panzitta, Burger, Worob, Dreisbach).
Thank you Dan Jones for having the vision and willingness to invest in Morrisville. I'm truly sorry it didn't work out.
Did you hear that??? That's the sound of progress coming to a screeching halt.
Well, I didn't think they would actually do it -- but they actually, finally did it: our Morrisville Borough Council tonight voted 6-2 AGAINST the proposed Gateway Center "concept" -- that's right, that's right, it was a "CONCEPT" -- and even if they voted "yes (which they didn't) the concept STILL would have had to go through all of the regular Borough processes we have in place here (things like Zoning, Planning Commission, etc.) before getting final approval. The tree huggers in this town are so stupid and uneducated it's pathetic: "l...et's keep all developers and new businesses out of our town and, instead, plant trees -- lots and lots of trees...". Ugh!!! I'm so upset about this town and the Borough Council members we have up there pretending to care about us....what a bunch of imposters, they should all be impeached. We've been here for 9 years, trying to make a go of it -- well, sorry gang, I can't do it anymore -- we're finally going to list our house for sale this Saturday. Enough of the madness, you lunatics -- we're out of here, and for good, and we're telling everyone what all of you up there on your thrones want us to say for you: "Stay away from Morrisville."
Well there isn't much hope for my house being sold, since they are dumping leaves and bodies so close by. Then there is the selling aspect of the train tracks! OH and did I mention the LOVELY bar on the corner? Im so disgusted!
