There is no condition of the sale to develop the pads other than at most a vague reference to use their best efforts to find a cost efficient way to develop them in the fullness of time. Period.
The sale and purchase can only be of benefit to the purchaser, the City and especially Forks North Portage Corp. I just hope the sale proceeds are kept in place for FNP and not carved off for some nonexisting community interest group.
It reminds me of the rumblings in Toronto at the demolition of a covered mall and people complaining about not having anywhere to walk in the winter. As if it’s the developers fault there is snow in January.
This really will be a great catalyst for Portage if one just leaves private interests to do what they do. It just can’t get any worse than the way it is. I walked from the Hydro building to the Mere Hotel at 8:00 a few weeks ago down Portage. The situation is so dire and pathetic one really can’t imagine. My out of town guests were in shock and held me tight the whole way.
I no longer know what the solution is for these tired lost souls. Thank goodness for Siloam Mission.
