I am a small business owner in Downtown Fort Collins: Peacock’s Perch 162 S. College Avenue, Fort Collins 80524. It has become clear to me that asking for media involvement regarding the activities downtown is my/our only option to be heard. I am the only one business owner downtown writing this letter. However, there are many businesses who are under the same circumstances or are dealing with similar problems that result from the criminal activity that surrounds us, and I am actively reaching out to them for support.
