Summer Construction 2010!


Very good news. The city is moving forward with its plans for their "Cornelius Main Street Plan". According to the city manager's weekly report, Kerr Construction will start work on it next week. They were the same contractors that worked on the Adair Street part of the project & they did an awesome job with it. Next month, on July 19, there will be a presentation on the preliminary design review for 10th Ave & Baseline Street. Things are really coming together. If you all are wondering how the city is paying for this. I believe most of it is funded by Federal Stimulus funds, 10th Ave I think gets some funding from Walmart, but I don't know exactly.

Cornelius Survey, Link, & Oregonian Piece

Survey is first step in rebranding as Cornelius ponders new logo, motto

http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2010/05/survey_is_first_step_in_rebran.html

First, I'd just like to say how thankful I am that Casey Parks hasn't forgotten about Cornelius. I'm glad that she's the Oregonian's eyes & ears, writing stories about the place we call home. I had the opportunity in meeting with her for a brief interview for her Cornelius Walmart article. Thanks Casey for all that you do! But especially for not forgetting about the little speck on the map that is Cornelius.

Link to Cornelius Survey

Excellent Bankrate.com Article

Take grocery coupons to the next level by Jay MacDonald
http://www.bankrate.com/finance/personal-finance/take-grocery-coupons-to-the-next-level-1.aspx

The article basically describes the different grocers out there, their different offerings and pricing styles. It closes mentioning Walmart's massive competition in the razor-thing market of margins. I hope to share on this blog my own findings. Plotting the highs and lows of pricing for certain items that I buy regularly. We'll see how that turns out.
