The residents of Isles at Oasis, Waterstone, The Vinyards, Keys Gate properties, and surrounding neighborhoods would like to let the Mayor and City Council of Homestead know that we are opposed to a Goodwill store and Presidente Supermarket being built next to Dairy Queen located at 3330 NE 8th Street. These are all relatively new neighborhoods that have attracted good families with steady employment. With the growth of Homestead as the economy improves we would like like to see an effort made to bring higher end shopping, restaurants, and nightlife so we do not have to drive to Kendall or Miami. As residents of Homestead we would rather keep our dollar here but with no options we are forced to go elsewhere. Bringing higher quality facilities to Homestead will do nothing but help attract more families and money to the area. As residents of this area we will not patronize Goodwill or Presidente as we do not feel it will add to our neighborhood or property value that we have all worked so hard for.
