[Lincolnparkdc] Save Mott's Market!

[Noah Bopp]

Neighbors,

You're going to hear a lot more about this in the future, but many of us participated in a call tonight about saving Mott's Market, a beloved corner store at 233 12th Street SE that has benefited our neighborhood for 80-90 years. Tomorrow, a developer is likely to submit an offer to purchase the property and convert it to something other than its current use (likely condos).

Though we have no ill will toward any developer, we are eager to preserve a bit of old Capitol Hill and maintain the convenience and camaraderie that Mott's has long provided.  And we have enough momentum (and funding) to put up a fight.

As I said, much more to come. But if you are interested in helping us, please contact me, Scott Davis, Christine Campbell, or Jordan LaCrosse (all CC'ed here). We have already raised substantial early funds and have many volunteers, and we could certainly use more early investors and advocates.

Thank you, and long live Mott's!
