    First post, but I have wanted to speak out on RSA. The Quad Cities is a service industy area. Top ten in the nation in per capita restuarants and at one time the top Walmart in the country was in Flo-town. Thanx to NAFTA, the textile mills are gone; and until the area gets and interstate no large industry will come in. The RSA proposal is the best thing to happen to the area since TVA. Now the TVA land may be falling through due to concerns over the slag area, and a private individual has stepped up to the plate with 850 acres on the Colbert Co. side of the main lake. This makes the project even better. Imagine ferries running from the hotal across the river to the course. A golf course looks better than more houses, IMHO. I have heard around B'ham that if the project goes through it could be the top site on the Trail. I still don't understand why so many people back home oppose the project, either on the TVA land or private land. The amount of money that would be spent is a tremendous amount of capital being invested into a very stagnant local economy. Just my two cents, not worth much.
