We need more high income folks in the area to keep tired Lake Anne plaza going. There have been numerous meetings and studies on how to improve Lake Anne over the past 10 years with the same anti growth crowd holding back progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-5107224014058688392012-01-31T15:11:16.892-05:002012-01-31T15:11:16.892-05:00"...(JBG) wanted some direction from DRB as t..."...(JBG) wanted some direction from DRB as to what would be approved."<br /><br />Tell you what we are looking for?
