Survey of Tenants in Redevelopment Area August 15, 2007 Page 4 <br /> <br /> - spaces around us, small entertainment district, one stop parking, meal, beer, pool, a <br /> bourbon street thing. If you move one entity, loose the gestalt of the operation. <br /> 3. IF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT OCCURS, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN <br /> LOCATING IN THE PROJECT? <br /> Yes: 77.8% <br /> No: 22.2% <br /> Space for comments was provided. Comments fell into three categories: Yes, Maybe, No. <br /> Yes <br /> • Would be willing to find the money to buy in so that can be located downtown in the new <br /> space. Our [clients] are put at high risk in the current West Broadway configuration <br /> Maybe <br /> • It would of course depend on the circumstances. Such as, affordable rent, the right size <br /> and shape of the area, and what if any restrictions would be placed upon the business. <br /> • As long as it is affordable <br /> • generally, but would need specifics. Depends on the parameters involved... hear various <br /> things about the proposal, would need more concrete info. <br /> • Only if parking is greatly improved and only if a fair amount of retail is within the plan. <br /> • Depends on the cost <br /> • Only if rent is affordable for anon-profit. <br /> • Would like to see the options of spaces and business that would be available <br /> • We want as much space as we have now at a reasonable rate so that we can continue our <br /> business. <br /> • The cost of rent and the ability to turn a profit are extremely important. <br /> No <br /> • Doubtful. Because of price per square foot and the fact that we need so much space for <br /> the warehouse, show rooms and vehicles. 2-2.50 per sq. ft. just wouldn't make sense for <br /> our business. However, we would leave all options open. <br /> • We would have to move and then move back, we wouldn't have the configuration we <br /> would want, and the price would be too much. <br /> • It is a very unrealistic question. How can we shut down what we do for two years and <br /> start-up again? Do we simply stop the lives of everyone involved? We would need to <br /> relocate. If we could survive and thrive in the new location, why would we move again? <br /> • As configured, no local businesses will be able to afford the rent. <br /> _ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1 <br /> <br />
