All we need now is less restrictions from the planning board such as the 22 pages of restrictions on signs! Not to mention all the other things that hurt Catskill businesses. I know this isn't politically correct, but last I looked, I still lived in a Constitutional Republic with the right to feed my family without el comrades restricting my right of free enterprise. <BR/>There have to be rules in any village, rules for the safety and well being of the people but, how unsafe is a sign large enough so that the folks driving can see it and find your store?<BR/>Every customer that has called my store or came in have said the same thing...."You need larger signs, we couldn't find you" EVERY CUSTOMER!<BR/>And if that isn't enough, one customer I was on the phone with, attempting to give directions to after she went past my store twice, wound up at my competitors store and bought from them....That was a $4000 loss that day.<BR/>Folks, don't you ever wonder why so many businesses walk away from Catskill?......Just ask any business in Catskill how they feel about the "rules".....Then you'll know.<BR/><BR/> -Bob Nappa<BR/>Owner<BR/>Nappa's Tile & Wood FlooringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
