<div>There are other business people here, who would love to look at the location for a Cafe & Garden center concept.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I was to look at the facility I would use a business model allowing residents to use the greenhouses and including farmers like Red Planet Farms who have several small farm lots within Providence.<br></div>
<div>I would open it as a cafe & coffee shop, food emporium and garden center where you can get a light lunch as well as a selection of garden tools, and people would not have to give up on Holiday pies as we do make pies every year with local ingredients.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If the bulk of the cooking is done at my current commissary then the business would not be needing a big variance on the current zoning, provided the building is structurally sound.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also believe that I could generate support from the community on such a project and develop a business that is a real asset to the neighborhood.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is possible to have the plus side of a successful business that people enjoy without the downside of drive through traffic.</div>

Is this option even on the table?<br>
<br>Further down Hope Street, Seven Stars bakery does get busy, for sure, but it adds buzz to the neighborhood (there's obviously a reason why this was chosen for a scene in the movie "Dan in Real Life") and the foot traffic it generates is no doubt a boon for local retailers. We live on Eighth street, just up from Chez Pascal and Cook & Brown restaurants, as well as the weekly summer farmers' market and art/craft sale, and while the traffic and parked cars spike Thursday-Saturday, these are not open-all-day places like what's being proposed for the coffee shop.<br>
<br>(I wonder if the city would now be more likely to relent on some of the zoning issues, given that a new place of business would generate some jobs and tax revenues. Hmm.)<br><br>Emlyn<br><br><br><br>
