Very much to everyone’s disappointment Mr. Munschell did not show up.
At the end of the meeting Two hours later no call was received from Mr. Munschell or his company Fort Howard Development by anyone in attendance.
We can only hope that Mr. Munschell is well.
Fort Howard Community Association has sent Mr. Munschell a new invitation. Any reply received will be posted on forthoward.org
DundalkTV Director Mr. Scott Collier memorialized the opposition to the Fort Howard Development on film and has posted several minutes of the two hour of the meeting, included in this post above.
7th District Councilman Todd Crandell spoke loudly and clearly on the Fort Howard community mandate and his campaigned position, absolutely opposing the Fort Howard Development plans with “NOT ON MY WATCH.”
Fort Howard Community Association President Chris Pappas closed the meeting with one last question to the group: “Does anyone support the proposed plans by Tim Munshell of Fort Howard Development?” NOT ONE SINGLE HAND WAS RAISED.
Any additional future video will be added to this post.
Fort Howard Community Association thanks all those that attended last night and all those who wished to attend but were honoring other commitments.
We sincerely hope Mr. Munschell is well and look forward to his response to a second invitation addressing the concerns of Fort Howard and residents residents, local, state , and federal elected officials, community association officers, media and most importantly our veterans.
