I wrote this story for today’s paper about Bisno Development Co. pulling out of the Baldwin Park redevelopment project. Apparently, Bisno is the latest victim of a faltering economy.

Looks like opponents of the project finally got what they wanted – though it seems residents can’t cry victory just yet. First of all, there is a possibility Bisno could come back in the future. 

Second of all, hopes of any development project in the downtown area anytime soon are likely going to take a back seat to the tanking economy. That means no face-lift of any kind.
