The PNC property would never have paid off as an investment. The supporters were repeatedly asked to demonstrate that and never could. The only justification they kept coming back to, since the economic one didn't work, was to put a Library / Senior Center there. We already have a library that is size-appropriate for our tiny Township so while that's nice it wasn't easy to justify as a tax expense. The Library is now pursuing private funding, in addition to their surplus from our taxes, for expansion which sounds like a better idea. When large farm tracks are preserved, the economic case is easier to see since they could host a lot more development than the PNC site.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, Jul 11 2010, 9:07 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Vantage points other than Village Park for fireworks?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">And the town will be given the option to be the buyer.
