Dear Mr. Goldberg:
At its January meeting, the Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors was
made aware of two projects in Fort Collins that make reference to Town, or Towne
Center. These are: the Lemay Town Center project at the intersection of Lemay and
Mulberry and the Harmony Towne Center at the corner of College and Harmony Road.
The DDA has no position with regard to the relative value. of either project. However,
out of respect to this community, out of respect to the enormous financial and emotional
investments that has been -made in the real center of this town, it asks both projects to
find new names.
A town center is traditionally the oldest commercial district in a community. Its
architecture is historic and rich. The goods and services provided are eclectic and the
businesses are usually owned by local, very independent operators. Neither Harmony
Towne Center nor the super Wal-Mart Lemay Town Center embody all . these
characteristics and it is misleading as well potentially damaging to the existing central
business district for either to attempt to evoke such "character" by borrowing an historic
and traditional land use classification.
The DDA urges the developers of these two projects to get creative and come up with
alternative identifications. Please feel free to call me or Chip Steiner (970-221-5023) if
you have any questions. Thank you.
Sincerely, ;
Stephen Slezak

I am in receipt of your letter dated January 15, 1997. In standing with the positions outlined by you,
we will change the name of our project to "Mulberry and Lemay Crossings".
Please understand that in selecting a name for our project we did not intend to damage the existing
central business district in any fashion. Moreover, we feel that the success of our project will
enhance the existing central business district by supporting the northern/central portion of the Fort
Collins community with different classifications of retailing.
Should you have any questions with regard to our project, or should the name we have selected
further trouble you, please do not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours
