Letters: What is the future of downtown Madera?

I’m concerned about the future of downtown Madera. What will it be? Do we care enough to answer that question and make it happen?

Downtowns are typically the heart of a community. Ours needs a code blue heart surgeon. Empty lots. Chronically vacant buildings. Fatigue. Potholes.

Pretending that cannabis shops will stimulate MadTown is doobie-ish.
