Shelton. He spoke about the fact that county use of the building takes it off of the tax roll which
helps nobody. Tom voiced his hopes for an anchor business, such as Trader Joes to use the
space. He asked that there be more public input in the future for purchases such as this.

intention of moving forward with the purchase.
Cmmr. Drexler said this property came at the right time, and though the building could have
potentially been used for other businesses, Shelton is the County Seat and this purchase doesn't
prevent other businesses from moving into the City.

noted that stores are welcome to move here if they are interested.
