Jennifer Ennie Brosius is excited but wants more information: "I do absolutely want Giant Eagle to be happy staying in Solon, I think a GetGo is a great idea (especially after losing the Sunoco and Marathon over the years), and I desperately want to see a revitalization of that shopping center as a whole. However, the plans are hazy to me...I look forward to someone posting images of proposed plans, information on what will happen to , and traffic studies. It's not that I want micromanagement by the public to further stall or kill the project, but when it comes to new development in my City, I like to keep an eye on things."
