Ah, but can they figure a way to generate significant money with the pool, quickly enough to be helpful?
It seems to me that in depth economic analysis needs to be done before starting such projects as Rail Trails - not just platitudes and generalities about benefits.
I agree.
And I DO keep in mind all the things about “benefits to the community” attracting people to the town to increase the tax base, all that, but...when you have heavily traveled roads that border on the impassible for YEARS...I would think (as I think you agree with me) that kind of things should take precedence.
