Don’t block Penford expansion, more jobs

I find it amazing that the Czech Museum is speaking against Penford Products' request to buy the park land for possible expansion. Penford was there long before they were and the New Bo Market was conceived.
Now unless these two entities can guarantee the numbers of jobs and pay that Penford provides, they should keep quiet before they drive another company out of town.
I worked in the Czech Village for 13 years and had a business there for another 14 years before moving it for more space. The plant never bothered me as much as the dump.
