----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Carlson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > [Winona Online Democracy] > > I wonder too where all these people come from who buy > half-million-dollar new homes. .......... ----- Response ----- I was skeptical of the notion that a lack of "executive" homes was keeping CEO's from locating their companies in Winona. And that still seems far-fetched, but after reading about the Mayo Woodlands project http://www.mayowoodlands.com/ the following occurred to me: Many of those lots, selling for $95 to 450 thousand, would probably be acquired by the high earners in Rochester's medical industry. Here in Winona, abandoning the clinic building for a location in a new hospital campus complex was said to be necessary because recruiting the best physicians would be difficult without new, state-of-the-art facilities. So, wouldn't our 'movers and shakers' feel that would also be the case for the homes the new medical personnel would be seeking? And since the city is involved in financing the hospital project, the Phillips development is going to happen one way or another. So, that's my two cents worth. BTW: Today's Mpls. StarTribune has a bluffland development article that mentions Winona and La Crescent. _______________________________________________ This message was posted to Winona Online Democracy All messages must be signed by the senders actual name.
