Will clock remain?
How will it be identified as Gaston Plaza.

The clock will be put back in its original spot; plaques are to be installed about the parcels history.

Will it have anything to do with the founder or just about Gaston motors?

Did the clock belong to Gaston motors.?What year did clock come into existence? What does the clock have to do with Gaston Plaza? Put the clock on another corner if it has nothing to do with Gaston Plaza.
Is fairhope honoring a car dealership or the Founder? If dealership ,I would imagine there are other properties we can honor.
Would across the street be Pitman Plaza? Or the other corner be whatever hardware store was Baldwin plaza.
Monument,statue, large plaque something honoring the Founder and Gaston family..
The clock is insignificant to this corner.

How much $$$ was spent buying and now reconstruction for this Corner. Who paid and is paying for all of this. What’s is going to be. A clock for Gaston Plaza. Ludicrous. Be specific people. When was or is the time at Gaston’s Plaza. Was clock founded by Gaston family. Is it an Emperor clock. Would like an explanation by someone. Maybe FST knows.

My two cents, either be a clock corner or Gaston Plaza. I believe that’s what was voted on to be Gaston Plaza.
Move on people
