The LIDA doesn't have to explain anything - they did what they did - taxpayers/residents going to talk to them after the fact is a waste of time.
Come on Lee how did this "gave back to a taxpaying community to lessen its financial obligations" - that's a stretch isn't it ?
You might be slanting this a little because of the up coming election process - but wheres the relief for tax payers ?
The tax payers paid to build the BOCCE building and maintain that plaza
- Tax payers paid the cost to demolish the BOCCE building
- The tax payers will pay to redo West Main Street - this because Politicians made taxpayers pay to cut off Main Street years ago - isn't that correct ?
The only reason the BOCCE Building was removed is to eventually make room for a developer to build some housing - isn't that the long term goal ?
Please - the game continues and your mellowing your IDA Opinions because Supervisor Fudoli is Chairman/Supervisor !
If this situation happened under Supervisor Giza you'd be blowing a gasket - so would many more of us !
Just like the tax funded baseball batting house at West wood - OH - some think its cool so - lets change our stance a little.
Can't have it both ways - its either wasted tax dollars or "WE like it because our guy says its OK" -
