I like the idea of a Dollar General store coming to Grand Marais. It will be nice to have a large store that a person in a wheelchair can enter easily and wheel around without running into stuff.
I also like the area where it will be built. There isn’t much in that area and it won’t change the look of our downtown. I believe it will cause the speed limit to be lowered to 30 mph on top of the hill and cars won’t be going so fast as they reach the entrance to the city campgrounds.
Being on top of the hill it won’t take any parking places that are needed for downtown business and will bring customers in from the surrounding areas.
Our cool little town will remain the same and some new year-round jobs will be created.
