The company picked to redevelop the former mall site downtown is kicking off its effort to reach out to the community.
The Long Island-based Renaissance Downtowns has begun seeking input from city officials, business leaders and others as it begins narrowing its options for how best to revitalize the 17-acre site purchased by the city five years ago.

He is. He's making sure the quality of life on Chippens Hill is second to none.
If Renaissance really wants to outreach to the citizens, they will buy the apt. building on the corner of summer and main st. it's an eyesore and has always attracted low lifes and has always been a haven of drug activity. no one will want to go downtown if another absentee landlord buys it. do us a favor, Renaissance, and buy the place, tear it down and make it part of your plan.
What!? Doesn't a developer come to the table with their own ideas? Why ask town officials, residents? If the town had ideas we could have done the revitalization ourselves without hiring that company for a huge amount of money!
Furey?! He's just a lawyer horning in, getting his name in the paper to get more clients.
