No Free Lunch for Gloucester Crossing
A Petition from the Citizens of Cape Ann

We the undersigned oppose the City of Gloucester granting any subsidies to Gloucester Crossing, a private venture, in this time of fiscal crisis. We oppose Tax Incentive Financing (TIF) and any request to our state legislature for approximately $3 million in subsidized infrastructure financing for this project. We look to the new Mayor of Gloucester to instead use our tax money and any financial assistance from state and federal governments to invest in our schools, water and waste water systems, roads, and sustainable economic development.
