Amanda is right, this is a town concern and yes we do need the barges. What I don't understand is, Why do these barge people dictate what they are going to do? Millions of dollars were spent on a beautiful new road and marina. Barges are using it now, so why not others? Money is the answer. They don't want to pay to use it.
To put the barg location South you can bet they are paying over a million dollars to set it up. Property cost $300,000.00, then they have to pay to cut down the mangroves, dredge, build a road on the property (with hundreds of yards of fill) and set up. Why would they pay that much money for a location that they say is only tempory until they are able to use the new one in back? Tempory was only 16 years at their present location
