While looking at the Batavia Daily News on April 12,2010, I almost fainted. City Manager Jason Malino was quoted saying "Revitalization in Batavia, NY" all in the same sentence. Mr. Malino, who's grand plan, is to merge with the Town of Batavia. I, at that point said no, to the merger. Now i'm having second thoughts. A revitalization and a merger, would help the city of Batavia. Look at Batavia now. No morale, dirty plus, way to many empty buildings. I hope the city manager,can get out of under the thumb of the status quo and move forward. Here is some inspiration, has anyone took a look at Genesee Community College? If this city manager wants to make a name for himself, in a good light, maybe he should talk to Dr. Stuart Steiner. I hope the city manager, brings a positive revitalization, for this once bustling community.
