And it’s not kelp baking in the sun at low tide or squid drying on the shore like it was years ago.
It looks like there were lessons learned after the failure to turn Holman’s into some kind of “World Class” transient stay place.
A group dubbed the Committee Against Measure X sponsored by Unite Here, Local 483, sent out fliers over the weekend to Pacific Grove voters declaring “Measure X is wrong” and asking voters to reconsider the measure because it allows a developer to avoid the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Woah, when the group that stands to gain power and money by making promises to a few hundred low wage hotel workers it against it there must be something under the covers going on.
The voters’ guide was mailed out, I like the bait this project is trying to use to hook y’all:
Recognition of Pacific Grove as a world-class destination and an innovative leader in conservation and sustainability
More like “How did this cute little town allow this to built?
Banquet, meeting, and reception rooms that will enable Pacific Grove to host large and small events, keeping that business in Pacific Grove
Look at the next line and tell me, who from P.G would use this place?
New luxury travelers who will patronize Pacific Grove restaurants, shops, and other businesses
The type of people that stay there will make the choice of Cannery Row or Carmel, not P.G.
State-of-the-art design, construction, and operational programs and technologies, as one of the world’s most sustainable hotels, that will save and recycle significant amounts of water and energy and reduce pollution and greenhouse gases
Ha! I knew someone would throw in the Substainable word once, but TWICE?
An ideal location at the edge of town that will help mitigate traffic impacts and provide additional needed parking for the City, resulting in reduced downtown congestion
Never mind that slow and getting slower traffic jam on Lighthouse Avenue to the tunnel.
A visitor and interpretive center and museum that will celebrate Pacific Grove’s extraordinary culture, its heritage and historic character, and its unequalled scenic beauty
A tribute to the scenery that will never come back
New revenues from transient occupancy taxes, property taxes, and sales and use taxes to support our library, police, fire department, parks, and other City services and operations
New opportunities for thieves.
Three hundred permanent high quality hotel jobs for workers of all skill and education levels, many of whom will be residents of Pacific Grove, plus hundreds of high quality construction phase jobs, many of which will benefit Pacific Grove businesses and residents
Most of the workers at hotels in PG cannot afford to live there. See the part about the traffic to and from PG.
At first it kind of appealed to me, keep the touristas at the border of town, pray that they stay on the ‘row and don’t bother me. But the thing is now sounding like the city whoring itself out to get a few bucks. Vote NO on Measure X.
Something Stinks At ATC
